Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

Not read these yet but these are on my shelves to read:

Lord of the Rings
1. The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)
2. The Two Towers (1954)
3. The Return of the King (1955)

They are fantastic. The epic journey of the hobbits and their friends is definately worth a read. While Tolkien does seem to go on forever about the trees and what not, I think it really does add to the story so you can really immerse yourself within Middle Earth.

I read these over and over when I was in High School. They were magic to me

I first read this series in high school as well. I've reread it several times over the years and always love revisiting that world. I also loved the movies - even though some favorite parts were changed. I wish every movie based on a book was that well done! I also love that the movies have encouraged many people to read the books who wouldn't have otherwise.

I love this series. I've read all his work and this series (including the Hobbit) is the most accessible. His others are even more descriptive and assume you have a good hold on Middle Earth.

I didn't read these until I was an adult and can't imagine I would have loved them as a child, so I do NOT push them on my children...YET! LOL

I have only read "The Fellowship of the Ring," and that was way back in public school. I really need to revisit it, as I do not think I could fully appreciate the novel back then. I remember thinking it boring, and that certainly cannot be right!
