This week we discuss Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 5, the Ride of the Rohirrim.
A little less Ride and a little more Eavesdropping. Come and discuss with us as Merry is very observant, but misses some vital facts. Theoden gives some speeches and steals a horn. Eomer is racist, and Snowmane is the best horse ever.
Well, the best horse that wasn’t stolen by Gandalf.
