How long did it take u guyz to read TLOTR?

Elenna · 09-29-2002, 01:37 PM

6 years on and off.

But I re-read it in about a week, now.

Beren87 · 09-29-2002, 01:38 PM

At first or later on?
I can read it (and enjoy) now in about a day.

Though the penguin is much faster....

Umm, this has sort of already been done.

Hope this link works.

Whats the shortest time youve taken to read Lotr

Beren87 · 09-29-2002, 06:12 PM

Yah, about a day. And I mean the whole day too at least 18 hours.

Arwen, this is a topic for how long it takes you to read it now and then (or so I assume)or average. Not the shortest, with everyone skimming and reading every other page.

It takes me about 3 weeks, the first time I read them, it took me two months.

Eglaladiel · 09-29-2002, 07:33 PM

Honestly, I have no idea how long it took me-probably cuz i read the book centuries ago. I have read it again and it took me two weeks to finish each book so...

lathspell · 09-30-2002, 03:15 PM

The first time it took me three months or more, but I was didn't know much English the time (being 13, I think, and Dutch). Last time I read them in 2,5 weeks, reading at times, no hurries [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]...

greetings,

I'd say it took me about to a month, two weeks, and three days to finish all of the books!

I read FOTR in two weeks, TTT in a month, and RoTK in three days!
