I have known about LOTR for about 5 years now but I didnt actually read the books until I had seen the movie. I am reading the books now and I actually like the books more than the movie. Even though I've seen the movie when I am reading the books the characters I imagine arent the ones from the movie. I think that the movie helped, if the people only liked the movie they would have given up by now (thats my theory)
