[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 232984, member: 198"] I've read all of those twice. Including "The Hobbit." I've also read most of the other books pertaining to Lord of the Rings and the prequels and some of the spin offs. J.R.R. Tolkien's son just released the first complete book from J.R.R. since 1977, (The Silmarillian), and is called "The Children of Hurin. I'm usually a very fast reader but I always have to slow down when reading any of Tolkiens books pertaining to "Middle Earth" because there are so many characters to keep up with. It's even worse in the stories that took place before the events of The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings. I had more trouble reading The Silmarillian than any other book I've ever read because it has somewhat of a biblical tone to it. I was able to get into it and finish it though. Either because Tolkien toned down the biblical tone after a few chapters or because I got used to it. I just know that despite being difficult to read in the beginning I still like it and eventually read it again. [/QUOTE]
