I’ve decided to re-read The Return of the King in advance of the movie coming out at the end of the year. It is, of course, a fantastic tale of the battles of men and the quest to destroy the ring. I had forgotten the multiple endings – which will be interesting to see in the film – and I had also forgotten that a large part of the final tale (as released in separate book form) are the appendices. I have never been able to read any of the appendices. Does that mean I haven’t read the trilogy properly?

UPDATE: My review of the film has also been posted. I did enjoy it but I am not sure if I was disappointed or not.

On this day…

• 2004: Forgotten Projects?
• 2002: Donnie Darko
