I've read that book about four times so far. I think I'll read it again soon. I loved it.
Thanks for posting the pics. The one of Legolas is great.

Oops, forgot to ask..

What is the one before the pic with the boat?
I'm guessing entrance to Mordor, but I'm probably wrong. (Haven't read the book in a while.)

If you guys liked Tolkien, did any of you ever read any Moorcock?

I know nothing about BBS, but by looking at the question I asked, I'm guessing that you misunderstood.

I asked, "What is the one before the pic with the boat?" (keyword: before)

I know I worded the question badly. Thanks anyway though.

I kind of missed out on Tolken because when I got to the age most people would read that sort of thing (12 ish) I could still only read 20 words a minute pheneticaly.

D_I Moorcock kicks ass - The dance at the end of time 0wnz M3, Ive got the history of the runestaff too - is there anything you would sujest?

Dancers at the End of Time is a great series-agreed.

The Corum series is excellent as well as Elric.

He has quite a few books about other Eternal Champions that are really good.

My favorite non-series book is The Warhound and the World's Pain-great read.

'The Lord of the Rings' is a college parallel reading assignment in many places.
Besides, I doubt many 12 year olds are prepared to read a 1,500 page book.

Are you sure it wasn't The Hobbit?

Lord of the Rings is by no means whatsoever a children's book, juvenile as the theme may seem. It was a damn good book too, might I add.

I read Battlefield Earth at 11, so I was all kinds of prepared for Tolkien at twelve. though I have to say it was a struggle to get through it the first time. I didn't really enjoy it til I got into my teens, 13-14. Then I started to get more into the fantasy thing. I love the silmarillion too, and all the histories, though some are a little dry.

I read it somewhere in my early teens. I loved the storyline and plot, but I found tolkein's writing to be drawn out and boring.. but maybe I was just too young for the books. I think I'll have to dust them off and reread them someday.
