Now, I’m less sure which character I’m most similar to.
Leasa would be Galadriel, Arwen, or Éowyn, depending on her mood, while Katherine preferred Strider or Legolas. Pippin, usually, as my mom claimed Samwise for herself and, as an unworthy youngest, I could never be Frodo. Both Mom and Dad read The Hobbit to us as children, so of course we began reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy as soon as we were old enough, and, like with other books we read together ( Little Women, The Secret Garden), we would discuss who was most like each character. I have lovely, hazy reading memories of laying on the couch reading The Fellowship of the Ring while my sister Katherine sat in an armchair and worked her way through The Two Towers and Leasa started The Return of the King on the other side of the couch.
Who knows who started the reading chain, and it probably changed every year. At least once a year, my sisters and I would reread The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, trading each book for the next one in line when we finished.
