I attempted to read The Lord of the Rings in high school after reading and loving The Hobbit. I couldn't get through it. I don't remember where I stopped because high school was thirty years ago for me (yes, I'm old, sue me), but I did, somewhere in the first book.

After loving the LotR movies, I attempted to read the series again. I figured, hey, I'm older, I have more patience, I loved the movies, maybe I'll love the books now.

Still couldn't get through the first one. I got to Tom
Bombadill, realized that nothing of note had happened up to that point, and stopped, because damn. But, you know what? I re-read The Hobbit and still loved it.

You don't have to have read the books to enjoy the movies. It probably helps not to have read the books, in fact, because then you're not bogged down with "Hey! That didn't happen that way!"

Oh god. Tom Bombadil. Just skip him.

Probably blasphemy, I know. ;-)

Oh, no, I agree. Enduring Tom Bombadil is like being subjected to a bunch of 16 year old theater types singing Defying Gravity off-tune. It can be skipped.

This is me. I read through the Hobbit and thought it was wonderful. Then I read the LOTR because I was in college and had ideas of how things should be (that in order to be a good person or something i had to read the books before the movie...yeah...)... I made it to the first part of The Return of the King and then exams happened. I discovered that I didn't give a rat's ass about what happened to any of the characters. I put the book down and never picked it back up. I prefer the movies to the books.

My English major friends gasped at my statement. Except my husband. :) He agreed with me LOL.

I tried to read them as well, I did make it through the first one. But it's so dull. Those awful songs. Good God. I didn't really like the films either, got bored.
