The last time I attempted to read the FotR, I got as far as the hobbits arriving in Bree. That was it. I had to quit by that point. Nothing the hobbits could have done or said after that point would have interested me - because nothing the hobbits had done or said by that point HAD interested me.Thankfully, at least the movies give me a chance to see the general flow of the story, and why some people consider the trilogy so awe-inspiring. If the trilogy inspires the same kind of wonder in them that the movies do in me, then I envy them in a small way -- because, barring threat of physical violence, I will never attempt to read them again.</blockquote>
