Davem, I disagree with you profoundly when you seek to devalue your early reading experience (or so it seems to me), but that is to be expected given our differing views on the reader v author debate.

Its interesting that Tolkien succeeded where (for many of us) PJ failed.

I would say that they both succeeded greatly in achieving what they set out to achieve, athough I agree that their intentions were, in many respects, very different.
For someone who dislikes, or at least is ambivalent towards the films, you seem to have watched them (FotR at least) many more times than me.
Edit: Quite
mormegil. It seems that, if one were to replace the reader v author debate with a watcher v director debate,
davem and I would find ourselves in agreement.
