I think that reading the books is a much better experience than watching the movies. But they are two different kinds of entertainment all together, so you can't compare them.

I think the best things about the books is that you will never know everything. You can read Tolkiens stuff for years and years and still learn new stuff all the time and talk about things in the books. I know, without a doubt, that I will still be posting here in 5 or 10 or 15 years. As long as there is good company and good intellectual discussions going on this will be a great site forever. You couldn't say that if we could only talk about the movies.
