I find it fascinating that every time I login there are more users signed up for this forum.Isn't that cool.It has a lot to do with the movies I'm shure,but thats ok I think,becuase that means more people are likely to read the books.I would encourage people to read more than just LOTR.Tolkien wrote many story and if you look hard enough you can find them.What are your thoughts on this.

My thoughts would direct your fingers to the Space Bar. Otherwise I agree.

Agree to, I myself read the book coz of the movie (hate seing a movie wich is made from a book without reading the book). I had a really old book by Tolkien, wich isn't LotR related actually, at home for years, without reading it, until the movie came.

I didn't read the book because of the movie actually (I usually hate watching movies that I read the books to. They usually make me really dissapointed in the movie) I actually read the books because of this forum. I found that since I hadn't read the books, I wasn't able to participate on the forum as much as I wanted to, because half the time I didn't know what they were talking about! So I read the books and now I'm able to particpate as much as I want here. Anyway, I also found that the movie LOTR is pretty accurate to the book LOTR, and I'm not dissapointed at all.
