In no medium at all, Inziladun? How about radio?

That'd be better, as long as it's something to require the use of imagination. I still prefer the books though. Why tamper with it, if it isn't broken?

For me, the reason is in what Tolkien called the "bloom" of a book, that you only get on a first reading. I got it on my second reading, too. But I can't enjoy the book again in quite the way a new reader does (although I enjoy it in other ways). A really good dramatisation can make me feel that sense of wonder again. The BBC radio dramatisation did that, and it's also extremely faithful to the book. So it doesn't try to mend what isn't broken.
