The books..BORING?????? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] FOTR was one of the fastest books I have ever read. I just picked it up and within three pages was whisked away into Middle Earth. Then, when I found out that movies were being made I was excited to see their interpretation of the books. The only book I had any trouble on was the very beginning of TTT because I had little time and patience to read it with school and such.. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] Once I completed the LOTR, I went immediately to the hobbit and am now almost done the Silmarillion. I then have the books of lost tales, unfinished tales, and the shaping of middle earth to go on to. I have also just purchased the complete guide to middle earth as my handy bedside reference. For me, the movies offered an interesting look into what a visualization of middle earth could be like. The movies don't ruin the books. In fact, they should just help to enhance your reading experience. I hope you stick with it and discover the magical literary world of ME for yourself.
