Bitten by the Tolkien bug - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I too read the Hobbit when I was young - around 10 years old (20 years ago). After A few readings I jumped into the LotR, but I was a slow reader and it took me forever(!) to get through them. In fact, and this is funny, I put down the Fellowship of the Ring right in the middle of it for a YEAR because I was so stressed out by the Black Riders! They scared the lembas out of me and I thought "If they are going to be around for all three books, I'm not going to read 'em!!"

Eventually I went back and finished, and have now read them all a few times more [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] In fact, it had been a few years, but after I just saw TTT (the movie) I read the four books again in less than 2 weeks! I guess you could say the bug bit again. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
