We are a group of Tolkien enthusiasts and are interested in his views on spirituality, storytelling, and fantasy. We have informal online discussions on Zoom on Saturday afternoons from 1-2:30 pm to discuss how his works and messages play a role in our daily lives and experiences.
We have been meeting since April of 2019. We started by reading Tolkien’s ‘On Fairy Stories’, an essay that presents his views on story telling and fantasy. We then discussed ‘The Hobbit’. We are now in ‘The Lord of the Rings' which we have been discussing over the past year (it is a long book!). We are currently approaching the end of the novel and are up to Chapter 2 in the second part of The Lord of the Rings 'The Land of Darkness'.
