I agree with the Saucepan Man!
Go ahead and read it! Don`t be afraid to cry. We all do it. And as a very wise wizard once said:
"I will not say, do not weep. For not all tears are evil."
Gandalf the White
I`ve read them so many times, that my books were nearly ripped to shreads. So I went out and bought new ones. A week later, I was with my aunt at a yard sale (she hits every one in town) looking at a bunch of fantasy books, when the lady asked my brother and I if we liked Tolkien.
I whipped around so fast I think I scared her. "Apparently you do!" she said and gave me the trilogy for free. They`re one of the really old sets, so cool. So now I have 3 sets of the LotR series!
(Sorry, I get off topic really easily.)
