well...I got in the habit of reading books when I was very little so I'm a fast reader. It's the school holidays and, in between everything else, I've read LOTR in three days...the Sil is a lot harder going!
With anything pertaining to Middle Earth I like to read slowly and make sure I'm not missing anything [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It also has the virtue of simply prolonging the experience...in LOTR my favourite passages are probably those that are descriptive of character, Ithilien and the dialogue between Eowyn and Faramir [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
