   I just finished reading _Lord of the Rings_ aloud to my wife (with our daughter listening in a bit at times), all 1069 pages of it. This is, I think, my third reading of it to her, but it's been probably 20 years since the one before. I started in October, after rereading _The Hobbit_ to her - that was much less of an achievement - and my being on break allowed me to get through about half of _The Return of the King_ in the last three days.
