We could read the
Tolkien Reader together.
That (in my edition) includes...
Tolkien's Magic Ring by Peter Beagle
The Homecoming of Beorthnoth
Tree and Leaf:
On Fairy Stories &
Leaf by Niggle
Farmer Giles of Ham
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil

As you said, Adam, it will have to wait until January. I'm sure we're all too busy this time of year.
Well, it's something to think about. I'd love to do it.
