Re: How many times have you read the Lord of the Rings

I find myself rereading LOTR every time I go through a crisis or a major change in my life (death of a loved one, loss of a job, whatever). Each time I find a new favorite chapter or favorite character whose predicament or story line reflects whatever I'm going through. I think I read the story the first time in 1973. I have read the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales but only once each; those stories are excellent but just don't seem as personal as Lord of the Rings.
