Whats the shortest time youve taken to read Lotr - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Since I am a very slow reader, it took me nearly a month to read the Fellowship...
...yep...an entire month!!!...

...in truth,I was only lazy to read any faster...

Five days, the first time I read it. The next couple of times that I've actually read LotR through from the Fellowship to the Return of the King it took me a while longer, since I actually had things like homework to do. Also, laziness takes over, even with Tolkien. I still have yet to finish the Return of the Shadow despite the fact that I started it four months ago.

Around two days. It was the first time I got the books and it was a Saturday morning around 10 when I got up and got my birthday presents. I sat on the couch the rest of the day and read till midnight only taking breaks to use the bathroom. I even read while I eat. I managed to get almost finished with TTT. The next morning when I got up the first thing I did was grab a bagel, toast it, and eat it while I read. I finished around the time we got back from my dad's to my mom's so six p.m.ish.

It was a beginning of an obsession.
