I LOVE this series! I read it when I was 10 or something and I have been obsessing ever since. smile.gif

They're really interesting and the movies are just as good as the books. Only a few more days till it comes out!!! biggrin.gif *jumps up and down on seat*

Just wanted to say that.

This is and always will be my favorite book series. I could read this from start to finish and start again immediately with no problems, forever. I will love this series when I'm too senile to remember my own name.

Such a detailed, rich, perfect writing... Written and spoken languages documented for every race, histories charted perfectly with nary a day's difference, True-to-life characters with none of the phonied-up personality so prevalent today to catch interest... if you have to insert quirks and defects, its not real. Relationships and culture and events are what shape people, and JRR Tolkein taught me that.

I reread his books and despair of writing well amidst being inspired to do so.
