It is an AWESOME series, but a very slow read. If you chewed through the HP series pretty quick you might be alright but if it took you over a week per book on the last 4 you might not want to try LOTR just yet. The first couple tries I abandoned it because it was soooo slow going. I ultimately came back and enjoyed it much more after I had a few more fantasy series under my belt. If you are intimidated by it, and are looking for alternatives, I would suggest either the Eragon series or the Game of Thrones series. Neither are complete but both should be wrapped up in the next couple years.

My dad read aloud the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings series aloud to my sister and me when were little. I just finished reading the Hobbit by myself and have stared Fellowship. I love the books and I love the movies!

About 12, I think... Ive lost count XD
I read LOTR before The Hobbit... this is how it happened. I randomly found the Fellowship and thought,. "Hmmm. looks interesting". I was half-way through it when I saw the first movie... and I read all three books about three times before The Two Towers even came out in theaters XD Then I read the Hobbit, and loved it... I've read it about five times.. then the Simlarillion 3 times, and I started on Unfinished Tales but have yet to finish that.
Tolkien Rocks! :D

Well I first read it in 1st grade, I was considered a "gifted" student when it came to reading, not much else though, and then every year after that untill about 6th grade, twice in highschool twice in college once in grad school & twice when the movies came out. So eleven times. What a dork huh? I don't even like fantasy but I loved these books. Oh, and I've read the Silmarillion 9 times that is my favorite Tolkien work. Also I did read the hobbit first, in kindergarten, (no joke) but I don't read it every time I read LOTR, I've probably only read the Hobbit 8 times. god this sounds dorky..

Yes, I read the Hobbit first.
I've read the Hobbit twice. Fellowship twice, Two Towers and Return of the King once.

I've read the Hobbitt and the Lord of the Rings several times since I was a teenager. I supect I'll read them again before I die. The Hobbitt sets the stage for the LOTR story.

just ones. I've read the fellowship first. I think that the hobbit came after the 2nd book, the two towers.
