I rarely read it in order anymore, mostly because the books are never all in the same place at once! I also find myself reading through random chapters when looking for quotes for Palantir of Fortune so there are some I read quite often and some that I have not read in a while.
There are some chapters that I skip over though such as The Council of Elrond and the chapter where Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas meet Gandalf the reincarnated because those tend to drag on a bit.
However, since starting to learn Quenya here I have been skipping through to find the poems and see how much I can translate.
