Your points about male friendship are so good. Exactly how I feel about them as well, especially where you point out that "slapping a modern gay label on these characters is a shallow interpretation of what these relationships mean, and what their depth does to propel the story along." I had a post in mind about this particular point, but you've already said it so well.

Sure! Want me to share more of those old LOTR posts and you pick which one you like? Or would you like something fresh?

It would be great if it's something fresh! Are you up for that?

Yay! Take a look at the reading schedule. I’ve got essays planned for the first book already, and someone’s doing a guest post for Nov 10, but other than that, all over weeks are open. Or if you think of something else that doesn’t fit into any specific week’s reading, I can work it in as a bonus post.
