How many people did you get to like LOTR?

[Ruler of the Frogs]

It's cool to hear how everyone has had some sucsess turning people to liking LotR. I had been reading LotR, and was on like chapter three, when I went to see the movie. I loved it and it motivated me to read the rest of the book. I read the entire trilogy in no time at all, and when I finished I started reading it again! I was completely hooked. I told my other friend about it, but she didn't want to watch the movie until she read the book. She moved along slow, but she enjoyed it and she watched the movie and she loved it too. She is an LotR fan now too, but she never got around to finished the entire trilogy. She is still a huge fan though, she's just not a good reader. I tried desperatly to turn my other friends to likeing it, practically by forcing the DVD into their foreheads! I had to tell one of them that Orlando Bloom was voted hottest guy in the world by like 7 magazines before she agreed to watch it (she didn't like it, though.) So I have only had sucsess turning my one friend onto it. But I can say I didn't try!!
