Lord of the Rings
« on: June 09, 2007, 01:39:11 AM »
Has anyone read the actual Lord of the Rings books, just outta curiosity? I know most people have seen the movies, but has anyone read the books? I like the books, even though they're kinda slow at times. What do you guys think?

I give you credit. I couldn't finish the first chapter. There's a new one called Children of Hurin or something

I have read the original LotR books. they were great. they told things very differently than the movies. I mean some events in books didn't happen in movies at all. And that thing when elves come to help Rohan, didn't happen

Nor I, I think I read the first two chapters of The Hobbit. I remember seeing the first film in the trilogy, and the last but, not the second.
