I agree with Aldagrim with the don't skip anything part. When I read LotR I would occasionally skip bits, when I was tired [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img], but I'd always go back and read them because otherwise you don't know where you are or who some people are e.t.c. Put it this way, if it wasn't important to the story Tolkien wouldn't have written it down!!! Enjoy!!!
