Describe the 1st time you read LotR.

[Neferchoirwen]

Wish my parents did that too. It's such a shame that what ought to taught at home is just passed off to schools, which makes everything essential seem so "just that." So I owe it to myself and to my children to read to them, and to give them a great childhood. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

reading the book and then said not to read that beginning till after I read the story.(which makes some sense)

Well, that worked for me...at least just for "concerning the Hobbits"

read all of it in one sitting(another bad habit of mine)

No! it's a great habit! check out my post in here...I did all that read-out loud in one sitting!
