The epic is over.

I finished reading The Lord of the Rings for the second time last night.

It’s
taken me 4 weeks to do so with many nights a hour’s reading, a couple of
weekends almost reading all the time and some evenings full-on reading as
well.

Was it worth it?.. Yes, though at the end it became more of
a strength of will to finish it as it seemed to be never ending, rather like
Frodo’s quest to mount doom with the book becoming more weighty as the end
came nearer.
