Back-to-Back

The first time i have read it, I was 8 years old, and that was like " Sho Big Book !"

I finished the 6 books in 1 years,

When i got a little bit older, i was reading it once a year

Now that im mature and a huge fans of Tolkien

I Always have The 6 LotR, The Silmarilion, the 3 UT in my backpack

And i read them back-to-back-to back-to-back

Just in the year 2002, i ve read them at least 6 times each, including the Silmarilion

That what i call back-to-back !

(Now, when i read it, I takes a pencil and a sheet of paper, and i take notes)

Hurray for Tolkien !!

Hurray Middle Earth

AND HURRAY FOR THIS FORUM !!!!

Click to expand...

UT is Unfinished Tales and Letters = The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien. The Letters is one of the most insightful works which looks into the mind of the author. Many times these letters offer the most clarity in answering many of questions concerning Middle-earth.

You can see what the book looks like here.

I have read Lord of the Rings and Unfinished Tales several times, and Children of Hurin and The Hobbit a few times. I'm due for a reread of Lord of the Rings!
