The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

When I reread this book I was particularly attentive to the scenes of foreshadowing and the revelation through dreams. There were several moments that I had not paid a lot of attention to in previous readings that revealed a lot about what was going on at the time, if you know where to look. I also noticed the meter of Tolkien's songs--there's a lot of tetrameter. I'm excited to press on into Rohan and Mordor.
