Put your own priorities aside and get ready to do the hard thing as you join us for the PPP\u2019s ninth annual celebration of Tolkien Reading Day, observed every March 25 in honor of the destruction of the Ring and the fall of Barad-d\xfbr. This year\u2019s theme, as chosen by the Tolkien Society, is Service and Sacrifice \u2014 and wow, there are lots of great passages to choose from! The Man of the West and The Shield-maiden of Rohan join forces to highlight this powerful theme seen throughout Tolkien\u2019s writing: from \xc9owyn and her frustration with \u2018duty\u2019, to the obvious H\xfarin moment; from Galadriel\u2019s diminished joy, to a wet bicycle ride. Plus, Amandil\u2019s private island is now head canon.
