37 times! That is quite impressive [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I imagine I'll get to a similar number sooner or later. I've only read The Hobbit and the Trilogy once, but I'm re-reading the trilogy right now. My mom won't buy me the books, she says that's what libraries are for [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] But until I get a job and a decent cash flow, I settle for library copies. I decided to read each book as many times as I can in the time I have it, though I'm enjoying them alot more the second time round. The first time I kinda rushed though them just so I could avoid further spoilers. I'm also a fan of the Council of Elrond chapter, and even though I was tempted to skip them on my third read of FotR, the Old forest through Barrow-downs chapters. There's alot of character development and story background there.

And "In the House of Tom Bombadil" is just a lovely little piece to read just before going to bed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
