lord of the rings
 

gosh! theres so much.

i just finished the first book ( half of number 1) ive read some of the 2nd and the 3rd book.

but theres so much other stuff on the middle earth, like the book of lost tails, silmarillion, tolkien bestiary..


amazing book.

gandalf and radagast pwn

Books bored me to death, and I absolutely hated the half-hour of the movie I watched. Thumbs down.
You forgot the Hobbit, though.

I love the books.

yeah, ive read through the hobbit, just to the part where bilbo gets the ring and then didnt read it any further.

yeah but the movies arent the same.

in fellowship, when frodo gets stabbed by the witch king with a morgul blade, glorfindel gives frodo his horse and he rides it to rivendel, in the movie arwen saves him.

and the part when they go into bree is wrong

I read The Silmarillion and TLoTR a long long time ago (I was 12, 13?). Good times and great oldies.

good stuff. the movies were great and I thought did justice to the books and tolkien's british ass

i loved them books but i have to say, halfways thru the second one i nearly gave up, its fuckin bored me to tears, but came good then for the third and ending.

yeah, fishy, the second one was the most boring, I guess :)

there's a czech beer called Radegast LOL

ha,.

someone from you guys should play bfme2

James Blonde thinks books are 10x better than the movies. Have some patience and time, and dive into reading. Very good entertainment.

i read them all in six days, during christmas season when i was fourteen.
wow.
i do read very fast though, and didn't read them in english.

James Blonde says it's worth to read again, he's done it like 3 times.

I haven't read it because I lacked interest in the Hobbit. I respect it as a book though

James Blonde admits that Hobbit is bit childish compared to LOTR. But still good read.
And noone isn't brain-dead if doesn't like Tolkien's writings.

The books and the movies are all fantastic. I still like Star Wars better though because Lucas had less money and resources to work with but still turned out the greatest trilogy in history (and then ruined it with the prequels).

i read the books multiple times during my teenage years, there's a bbc radio dramatisation thst is very good too, much better than the film. the films were a bit annoying.
the silmarillion is great too. i've tried reading unfinished tales vol.1 but it's kind of dull.

I'm with you all the way. "There's only ONE 'Return,' and it ain't of the King, it's of the Jedi!"

The books and the films are all dull to me.
