I'd certainly buy a decent one - say one illustrated by Charles Vess.

I just had a nightmare vision! Imagine if they every made a televition show called "The New Adventures Of Legolas", some cheap spin off, with no real plot and lots of bad actors.

If anyone has ever seen "The New Adventures Of Robin Hood" they will know of what I speak.

well I was sure Star Wars would be first, but I was surprised to see James Bond better then Lotr...then again the James Bond series do have a lot more movies...
Maybe with the Hobbit coming out soon LOTR will manage to take second place

as for Star Wars, the movies are nice, but what the books did the story is terrible...
