Zaknafein Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I know, eh Jiggy? I watched this one in summer that started at 8 pm and ended after 12. No wonder most of those movies have intermissions and stuff. I have been thinking of reading the book for some time now, actually. The problem is that it is sooooooo boring at the start, and when ever I try to read it, I end up falling asleep! Watching the movie has rekindled my wanting to read the book tho.. -Zak, who likes to sleep alot _________________ Feel the 'Putt Jattan De' power!! *Truth is highest, but Truthful living is higher still* [ This Message was edited by: Zaknafein on 2001-12-29 11:01 ] [ This Message was edited by: Zaknafein on 2001-12-29 11:03 ] Feel the 'Putt Jattan De' power!!*Truth is highest, but Truthful living is higher still* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 the problem with reading the book is it's probably long which would take longer the one night or even day to read inless you could read really fast but what are the chances of that?? well I know If I waited till the movie was out to reant I probably would see the movie before I finish the book when you do your best it`s going to show.

SaiFightsMS Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 The best books are not speed reading contests. The best books you stop reading and just sit and see in your mind what you have been reading. The Lord of the RIngs is on of these books. It should not be read as a speed read. It should be read slowly and savored. Maybe as an introduction The Hobbit should be read first. That might take some of the boredom out of the beginning of the book because then you know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Yep, I have not read the Lord of the rings trilogy but I definitely have read the Hobbit. Its a great book, and its not nearly as long either so you won't be put off by reading it.

Joecooke007 Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I saw Lord of the Rings. It was great but the ending was disapointing. I was reading the book but after seeing the movie I am sorry to say that I am stopping the book. The movie was jsut more exciting.

kicker Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 well I guess some books are meant for reading slowly cause are sort of boring but others are more exiciting so the more you read on the better it gets and those books are for that reason But I guess i should check at the library and see if either one of those books are in so I could read them when you do your best it`s going to show.
