Tolkien Simply Afraid

It is not my good sense that rebels, I'm afaid, simply afraid.

Of what? That demands making an egregiously embarassing admition: I haven't finished reading RotK.

*gasp*

I'm afraid of finishing it, knowing I'll be bawling like I am at the end of the movie, lamenting for the elves leaving.

I know it's not my good sense that rebels because I really want to read about Saruman's and Wormtongue's deathes, I really want to read about the mallorn tree in the Party Field, I really want to read my favorite poem in LotR "Still round the corner there may wait A new road or hidden gate....", about so many other things I've heard about at the end of RotK.

But I'm terrified that I'll weep and cry out and gnash my teeth, and destroy the book by the time I'm done with it...

Any words of encouragement?
