Yesterday was read Tolkien Day.
I admit it’s been a while since read the series, I have it on my kindle to read them again, but just haven’t found time.
Do you read them yearly? Or just once? Or haven’t at all? Dude, I sat through 12 hours of movie what more do you want?
i read them every other year. just long enough for some to get details fuzzy and i can be surprised all over again.
I was an ambitious 8 or 9 year old and read “The Hobbit” one summer. I read The Lord of the Rings series later, high school, I think. It was WAY before there was even talk of Orlando Bloom or Vigo Mortenson even thinking of doing a movie. I think the twin towers were still being built in New York at the time. The only movies I knew were old cartoons from when I was a child.
Never read them. Just couldn’t get thru them. Now the movies I like and have watched.
Went with some friends who loved the books and wanted to check the movie. Talked me in to going. Glad I did.
