I've seen each of the LOTR ...It looks awesome!<br /><br />I've seen each of the LOTR movies, um, at least six times, and I know I'm past eight on FOTR and ROTK (both of which I saw four times in the theatres, and three consecutive years we had all-three-extended-edition-back-to-back-New-Years-Day marathons.) Amusingly enough, I think I've only read the books twice each, and only once for Two Towers and Hobbit (this makes me look like a slacker, I know). <br /><br />There's an excellent lit crit book about Tolkien, J.R.R. TOLKIEN: AUTHOR OF THE CENTURY by Tom Shippey, which I highly, highly recommend.<br /><br />Skip most of the Silmarillion: read Beren and Luthien and Turin Turambar, and Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin. That's all the good stuff.Hannahhttp://hannahbowman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524956602794499164.post-73841770788260798762011-06-24T00:18:56.285-07:002011-06-24T00:18:56.285-07:00I first read the Hobbit in 8th grade.

I've probably read just the chapter "Spiders and Flies" thirty times.<br /><br />CANNOT WAIT.KD Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331721898295889961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524956602794499164.post-85373433474941435962011-06-23T23:44:19.234-07:002011-06-23T23:44:19.234-07:00Amanda: That would be awesome!

I can't wait until it comes out and I can have a marathon that begins with The Hobbit and includes all the extended editions of the LOTR DVDs. :D I now feel the need to reread them as well lol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12294516011395206412noreply@blogger.com
