[Quiet Man Cometh]

I did have an easier time with the council of Elrond than the Music of the Ainur. That's the part I did get through in the Irish laundromat. I made it as far as the council of Elrond before I watched the movie, which actually made the movie more enjoyable I think because I could tell from the first half what changes were being made so while the second half of the movie was surprise (never read the books before then) it gave me an idea of the changes that would be made so I didn't have problems going back to the book.
