Finished The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday! I'm so proud of myself. I haven't read seriously in a long time, only a random book here and there. And look at me now, already finished with The Hobbit and Fellowship! I'm doing really good, and on my way to finish finally reading this classic.

“Balin and Dwalin were written as Thorin’s closest confidantes, Balin as the Old Warrior advisor and father figure, Dwalin as an equal in all but name, his friend, his advisor, and his sparring partner. Thorin has a relationship with every one of his men, but thoese two and his sister’s sons, Fili and Kili, are particularly close.”
