I used to re-read the trilogy (along with The Hobbit and The Silmarillion) quite religiously since my teens. However, after the onslaught of the movies, I had to let the books sit for a couple decades in order to wash the actors from my mind. I spent that time strictly doing research and reading HoMe and related Tolkien materials.
