Heh, if you want a challenge, go read War and Peace (the unabridged version). But it'd be good to read LOtRs again since The Two Towers will be out soon. Can't wait.
Chios, I'd actually read the book. For some reason I don't enjoy a book as much when it's on tape, but that might be just me. Did they actually sing the singing parts in the book on the tape?System Specs:

Buddman, I read the books. I decided to go through them again.
Yes they sing the singing parts and it is funny. Actually it is only one guy reading the book and he changes his voice a bit for every character.Comment

Bah, I've read it (translated) 4 or 5 times between the age of 11 and 17. I now have the English version at home and I managed to convince (using moderate power
) Alice to read it. Once she's done, I might read it once more.
Anyway, for all of you who never read any of it, start with The Hobbit, it's lighter and reads quite faster. If you like it, you can advance to the LOTR. Happy reading

Read it - perhaps 4 times..... Best in class
A REAL read is the Sillmarillian -(SP) Describes the first and second ages - finished by Christopher Tolkien - and written in a 'Middle English' style...... Truly AMAZING - back in the first age - Sauron was Morgoths servant! They made real SUPER villians.....
For a bit of crazyness also read 'farmer giles of Ham' - describes Tom Bombadill in a new light (wish he was in the first LOTR movie - a beutiful rendition of a middle-english earth god
A good read (with only a fraction of the background though - but butifully 'connected' - Stephen Donaldson - the White gold weilder... his other work was a bit dim.... Too long tough.

RedRed> Or read the Unfinished tales... It's the collection of the stories Tolkien never finished/published...
Very good, and quite a few stories that didn't make it into Silmarillian... (Though a couple of the stories are just different versions of the same story...)Comment
