Yes, I only became a fan after I watched the movies, not before. It sounds shameful to admit that, but after reading the books, I'll truthfully say that I like some parts in the books better than how they were portrayed in the movies.

Yes, I also reread many certain parts over and over again. Mostly The Steward and the King in RotK, to be truthful.

I've just read it once and started it a few yrs ago, for a second time. But didnt finish it for unknown reasons

I have read it once and started to read it to my brother. But it's not going very fast because I don't live with my parents anymore and it ain't a easy book to read out loud.

what a glorious feeling

Awwwwww thats sweet. How old is your brother???

I began reading it to my sister this year. She's 7.

My brother is 13..hehe...he doesn't like much books to read.
Accually it all started when we would go and see harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkhaban in the cinema within a week. I said he had to read it before seeing the movies, so I started reading it to him. Every spare second we read and we did it in 6 days Than we read the 4th and 5th and than there was a big hole, so we started LOTR, because he loooves the movies but never read the books.

Oh wow!!!Thats really cool!!!! I'm reading it to my sister becuase well......if she read it on her own I don't think she'd understand half of it, so I explain as we go along.

Oh that's very nice of you on your part to your sister, when you consider how much there is to explain!
