Previously, I have read the trilogy several times, in order. However, over the last year or so, I've become a bit of a butterfly, skipping and skimming from one part to another.
This usually happens when I've read a certain section for research purposes, found what I want, and then found myself reading much further because I can't put the book down!
My husband despairs of me...
"You're not reading that again, are you?"
I also have an ever increasing pile of non-Tolkien stuff to read but never seem to get around to it
