[glow=white,9,900]Ok, so how many times have you read lotr? I've read the Hobbit twice, the trilogy 4 times, SIlmarillion 1 all the way through but I got halfway two times and had to stop. (Once I lost the book, another time it had been a while since I read and I forgot what happened.) THird time's the charm! I got it. lol! I've started reading other stories by him, or about him or the stories, but haven't finished yet. My 8 year old sister is reading the Hobbit.[/glow]

I'm working on my third time for the trilogy. If I had know the books existed before the movies came out I'd probably have a few more readings under my belt. The Hobbit I've read two time and I'm working on the Silmarillion.

I've read the Hoobit once in Dutch, but it soooo annoying, I guess the guy who translated the book hated Tolkien.... I don't like translations anyway, but the Hobbit in Dutch is terribly... The English version, however, I read four times. Just now I started again in LotR (still at the part when Frodo and Sam are packing for The Big Trip..) This will be the second time I'll read it entirely...  |

[shadow=blue,right,500][/I am a reader, one of the few who can't stop reading. The LOTR Series was the first series other than C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia that I finished. I was hooked. I have read the LOTR series 7 times and The Hobbit 8 times. And even though I've read them over and over and over and over and over and over and over, I still had time to read countless other books in my meager 18 years of life.[/shadow]

I knew there was reason you got on my nerves. 7 TIMES!!! Oh my gosh. I mean I thought I was theonly person mad enough to read a book more than twice.

[glow=white,9,900]Good grief Aragorn, you have no life. But then again, you've been homeschooled. My sis is reading the Hobbit, and when she gets done reading that, and Little Women, and the other two books that I can't recall, then I am going to read it with her. I also have a bi-polar English teacher who gives us five things to read in a space of three weeks. Christopher Lee reads the books every year. My personal goal is to read the trilogy 10 times or read it every year, and on one of those days I am going to read it in three days. (My dad read it in 4) My mom suggests trying to watch all the movies and extra stuff in that length of time. lol! [/glow]

Eowyn, you are nuts.
Ha they didn't kill Hoshi and Trip. Well actually they did but the beings that had been watching them stepped in. Augh! I hate this whole romance thing between T'Pol and Trip you know nothing is going to happen but you can tell she likes him even though she's trying not to show it. It's driving me nuts. And Acorn don't say anything about me being there already.

Acorn? Does this have anything to do with the nut thing?
Who's Acorn? And Marille, you need to find something better to obsess over that Trip andT'Pol (even if it is annoying).

Gasp, someone said that they have never read the books. How could this be. Oh, the world is going to end. AAAAH!!!! The sky is falling. Oh neverming, that's just Destroyer throwing things at me. If you'll excuse me.

I didn't like the hobbit too much, but i'm on my second time through the trilogy. I like reading books over and over, i get new things each time i read it. the first time is to figure out what is going on, the second time is understand what happens, the third+ times is for more details.

You didn't like the Hobbit? I liked it a lot!! (I had the Dutch translation to compare it with, so that doesn't count for much.....)
