The Road to Isengard is kind of a boring chapter, until you get to the last couple of pages where you suddenly get Merry and Pippin being hilarious assholes. 

 

My favorite quote from this chapter, of course, is the last line:
 

 

“So that is the King of Rohan!” said Pippin in an undertone. “A fine old fellow. Very polite.”
 

(#I didn't think we'd make it all the way through this chapter in one night#but we did#also apparently we've been reading for a year#at this rate it will take us another year and a half to finish)

Edit on crossposting, 12/8/18: Over a year and a half later, and we're still only nearing the end of Book 5.
