this is a wonderful thread. I first read the lord of the rings in high school (1996). it was not until the first movie came out, that I really paid attention. The movie gave me visual stimulation, and therefore made the books much more exciting. I have read LOTR about 16 times completely, but have not touched in im probably 5 or 6 months. I am completely absorbed in the letters, the Sil, and other ME topics. I agree with you, it really does grow on me, as I have been seriously reading for 2 years now. I did a literary research paper on tolkien in my literature class here at college. I find that I have a hard time doing my class studies, because the first thing i do when i come in is put in my two towers soundtrack and pick up a book! This will definately be something that sticks with me forever, and god willing I will still be posting on this site when im 80! lol great thread!
