View Full Version : Who's read "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy? MonarC 12-26-2003, 08:48 PM So i decided that I want to read "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I got the originals from my sister in law who has already read it. I love the movies and I thought the book would be way more descriptive. Has anyone here ever them? MonarC 12-26-2003, 08:59 PM it all begins with the first book... :D I bet it will take me all year to finish all three.

I'm about halfway done with that novel. MonarC 12-26-2003, 09:13 PM cool Brian! it's good to know someone is into reading cool novels. :) Brian 12-26-2003, 09:21 PM I love reading. I like Stephen King's work the best.

I've read LOTR about every 5 years or so since i was 15, and I've read the Hobbit, the Simarillion, and Lost Tales, all good books, but a LOT of reading. ~*Hannah_Lee*~ 12-26-2003, 11:51 PM I've read the first book and the second book. I haven't made it to the final book yet. Reading them make watching the movies twice as good, because you pick up on things you didn't understand before. Plus, there are things in the book that aren't in the movie. Lucylover22 12-27-2003, 10:32 AM I'm reading The Hobbit and I find it boring. But fantasy is not my cup of tea. The Modfather 12-27-2003, 11:15 AM I have read each book 2 times.

I didn't mean it like it's gonna take me all year cause im slow. But with working and then having to come home and make dinner and all that stuff I will read it in my spare time. I am thinking about getting "The Hobbit" 1st too before I start with the trilogy but im not sure if i will or not.:lol: Central Perk 12-27-2003, 04:35 PM I tried reading The Hobbit but it was really boring to me and I couldn't get into it. Even though I didn't really like The Hobbit I'd still like to see the LOTR movies. robyrob 12-27-2003, 05:26 PM Originally posted by MonarC I have read many books in my time.

I had to read them for a class. I tried and tried to like them, but it didn't work out. MonarC 12-27-2003, 09:34 PM yeah i can see how you wouldn't like to be forced to read it. But if you choose to read it im sure it would have been better. :wave: |
