If you look way back to the first page, you'll see an entry by someone named "hegemonmatt". That is, indeed, me.

I forgot to mention I read a book prior to reading the trilogy called "Photoreading" which I then tested out on LotR. It involves certain techniques that allow you to read most (or, if you're really good, all) of a page in about 5 seconds, and still remember everything on it. That's why I was able to read it so fast. However, it puts a lot of stress on the mind and eyes, so I don't do that unless it's for cramming.
