I totally agree that the movies are better than the book. My love...no, my obsession with the movies encouraged me to pick up the books. But, I was so let down.<br /><br />I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy when I was about 13 years old. Personally, I don't think I had the patience at that age to get through JRR Tolkein's writing. I want to give the trilogy a second chance though. I'm hoping I'll be able to appreciate LOTR now that I'm older. But, I'm hesitant to pick up the books because I struggled with them so much nearly 10 years ago. I want to unread the trilogy so my view on the series is no longer tainted. I just want to stop second guessing the series and just pick the books up again.<br /><br />- JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3177102141402314084.post-55881016914636693462012-06-22T19:02:34.640-07:002012-06-22T19:02:34.640-07:00I haven't read Lord of the Rings for fear I...I haven't read Lord of the Rings for fear I'd be bored to tears so I definitely don't hold it against you for wishing you could unread!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!<br /><br /><3 GoldiloxGoldiloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688290927670961089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3177102141402314084.post-4918719447953828572012-06-22T18:51:13.333-07:002012-06-22T18:51:13.333-07:00I started blogging in October, too :)

I've only managed to read the first book in the trilogy and have been trying to read book 2 for about a year. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Why? Two words: elf songs. Really just about the lamest, oddest thing. The odd interludes of breaking into (bad) song is enough to make it incomprehensible to me why this isn't universally loathed. <br /><br />I'm following you.
