My reading has actually changed quite a bit since reading The Lord of the Rings. I used to just look at the plot and the characters (a little). Now, however, I look more for description and scenery. This may also have to do with the fact that I write descriptive essays best (very unfortunate if you aren't taking an English class--description doesn't always work best for history courses!). I just realized this fact this year, due to the large amount of reading I have to do--and none of it particularly enjoyable...
Now, when I read The Lord of the Rings, I look for bits that actually put me in Middle-Earth. These selections kill me.
