At age 32 I'm finally getting around to reading the Lord of the Rings.

Reading a one-volume paperback my parents bought me so long ago that the cover says "Soon to be a major motion picture trilogy from New Line Cinema."

Better late than never right? I hope you enjoy the books as much as the movies!

Really enjoying it, almost finished with the second volume.

I'm probably the only person on the planet who got into Tolkien's nonfiction before his fiction.

Really loving the book. How do you think the film adaptations hold up? Have not seen them in many years.

I love the LOTR movies - forever my comfort movies. The changes they made from the book make sense (even if I would have loved to see some characters from the books).

The Hobbit movies on the other hand...I'm the wrong person to ask - haha! Just not a fan of all they changed.
