I never read much of the ST books because they were non-canon. Of those I did read, I must have lucked out on getting good ones.

I read some of the early SW books that I was able to borrow from my brother Noddy. Lost track around about the early half of the "Young Jedi Knights" series.

Haven't read or watched "The Hunger Games".

But LotR I feel I am a bit of a strange animal in that I like both, for different reasons.

The books are deep and epic, and in the Silm's case, practically biblical. I don't like The Hobbit because I read it after LotR and found the lack of detail really annoying. I mean, we have 13 dwarves, but we never get to know most of them! The Elvenking never gets a name in the whole book! He only got a name in LotR so Legolas had a father who had a name!

(Though I will say that on retrospective reading of Narnia, I like the way The Hobbit is written better. Narnia feels like it's talking down to it's audience, The Hobbit doesn't.)

I love the movies for giving us an accessible, visually stunning image. For giving us faces and voices to the characters. For giving us reason to get attached to some characters (like most of the dwarves!) that lacked proper development in the books. I liked the LotR/Silm books, but I got into the fandom because of the movies.
