Do read the book, but beware of words over three syllables long. Those can be a doozy. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Seriously, reading Tolkien is a great experience. The beginning of the LOTR is a bit slow, so I recommend reading the first few chapters in a setting where the book is your only available entertainment (as in, I started reading it for the first time in a huge line at the DMV). If you appreciate magic and wonder, you'll be hooked before you know it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
