“I should like to save the Shire, if I could - though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them. But I don't feel like that now. I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again.”  – Frodo in The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien (Book I, Chapter 3) [The Shire, concept art, by Tom Lay]

• Revolution of Tenderness is launching its first-ever reading group, an 8-week literary pilgrimage through The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of Tolkien’s monumental trilogy. Our weekly meetings  will be enhanced with videos, rarely-heard recordings of Tolkien interviews, and a commemorative journal that will include inspiring quotes and prompts. We’ve chosen this novel because of a rare opportunity: the Rimini Meeting in Italy, Europe’s most-attended week-long cultural festival, is held annually in August. This year’s edition will feature an historic collaboration between the Meeting, Oxford University, and St. Andrews University in presenting The Tree of Tales, a remarkable exhibit on the life and work of J.R.R. Tolkien. The Revolution of Tenderness literary pilgrimage will culminate in watch parties of the Rimini event, and other behind-the scenes opportunities reserved exclusively for Revolution of Tenderness members.

Firstly Reboot: At Eva and Tom's wedding Frankie and James were the maid of honor and best man while Piper, Rose, Reyez and Hunter were the bridesmaids and groomsmen respectively. Secondly Sleepers: Ryan plans to one day enter a bodybuilding competition but is really self-conscious about it but doesn't want to tell the others cause he thinks they'll laugh (mostly Blaire)
