I don't think the books are boring. Some parts, as mentioned earlier, drag on a bit, but otherwise I think the books are great.
A looong time ago I read The Hobbit, and hated it.

I didn't read FotR straight after, because I thought it would be the same. Then, I saw the FotR movie. After that I didn't hesitate a second and read FotR very fast.

I then started reading TTT, but I left off in the middle somewhere and just stopped. Once I saw TTT as a movie, I immediately picked it up again and continued reading.

I am currently 2/5 of the way through RotK.

I WONT STOP!! IT'S TOO GOOD! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

P.S.
Gorwingel, you found FotR confusing in 7th grade?
I found it confusing in 5th grade, but I managed to read it anyway... That's probably why I stopped for a LONG time in the middle of TTT, I found it even more confusing.
