After watching the first movie, The Fellowship of the ring, I was inspired to start reading the books. I'm halfway through the first book. It is so good. I would encourage evryone to read the series.

 

 

I've read the books many times

 

I saw the film 5 times when it was on over here

 

I have the film on VCD, on SVCD and on DVD

 

I have the 13 CD BBC Audio adaptation & The 1977 Animation.

 

You could say I'm a bit of a fan

 

 

I can remeber passing the sections of Lord of the Rings around during study hall while I was in high school. No matter how many times I have read it since then how is it possible to keep track of all the interconnected lore?

 

 

One of my favorite series of all time, read the books many times, the movie I saw twice (wanted to see it again, but didn't get the chance).

 

 

I really like the series but it is hard to understand if you don't read The Hobbit first, IMHO.

 

 

Ya I've wanted to read them all but I haven't had time.

 

 

Yep - reading The Hobbit is a must.

 

I read it to both my daughters when they where each 6 - now they're both hooked

 

There's another "Fantasy Trilogy" that I'm a fan of - but I bet you've guessed that one huh?

 

 

wait is it crucial to read the hobbit first. I have it and I know it is a prequel but since I already have a grasp on the story, I was gonna read it afterward. Would that be a problem?

 

 

yes, you need to read The Hobbit, There and Back Again first I would say it gives you a better grasp of characters background and there are tons of 'hints' to it in LOTR.

 

 

HARRY POTTER RULES!!!

 

Ive read all the Books..saw the movie..loved the BOOks..loved the movie..

 

Lord of the rings movie was cool
