[The Saucepan Man]

There is so much more to the books than there is to the films that I cannot begin to imagine finding them boring, even had I seen the films first (although I did read the books many years before the films were even an inkling in Jackson's eye).

If you find the books boring because you believe the films have already told you the story, then read on. You will be pleasantly surprised. Particularly if you manage to read RotK before the next film comes out. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

If you just find them plain boring, it may nevertheless be worth persisting because you may well find that, as the story unfolds, you are caught up in it. Or parhaps put them aside for now and try them again later. If that doesn't work, then perhaps they are not for you. In which case, this site is probably not for you either.
