Umm.... I just watched lotr again (well made my parents watch it. was my 4th time). So i thought i'd ask this question <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>...

Anyways. I'm assuming most people saw it, so question is how many of you read the book before the movie, and how many after? Just wondering <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I read all 4 lotr toms and silmarillion about 4 years ago. loved it. Part of that cuz i was a big fan of "Conan" (whoever heard of those books) and i had like 20 books stacked in my room. That was when i was like 12 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> So yeah... right now i'm looking for tolkien's "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
" and "The Road Goes Ever On" but can't find any used around my place.

Hmmm.... if anyone thought this post sounded reaaaaally gay.... shhhhhhhhhh <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> better than chatting about what music people listen to <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I havent' seen the movie or read the book, &nbsp;The movie looks great, and so does the new one. &nbsp;I hardly have time to read, besides all the bullshit books they make us read in school.

Maybe its because I have an impaired memory, but I don't remember any bullshit books from school, except the Great Gatsby. That book sucks. All the rest were pretty good, iirc. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/music.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':music:'>

You must not have had to read The Chosen or The Crucible. Those are the most boring books ever. Oh yeah and I didn't much like The Grapes of Wrath. I thought the Great Gatsby was good compared to those... At least compared to the Chosen and the Crucible.

Grapes of Wrath is one of my favorite books. I really liked reading Orwell and Huxley at school, im suprised this governement lets us read &nbsp;books of that kind in school, considering that they help you to start thinking for yourself.

Yeah the Crucible sucked. &nbsp;I was &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleeping.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzzz:'> trough most of it.
