Don't dis LOTR, Dave.
I have read them about 10 times, starting when I was 9.

I think we all did. Remember the animated features that came out in the 70's? I recently read someone just ripping them in a review recently. I loved 'em. Still have the Hobbit on video.
BTW, Peter Jackson said he hopes to make the Hobbit very soon.
What was really cool was when my son scored 100% on his Accelerated Reader test for the Hobbit when he was 7.
A couple nights later at an open house his teacher told us she was really glad we read to him but he needed to start reading some books on his own.
She was fairly flustered when I told her he read it himself in a 10-day period. The look on the other parents' faces . . . Priceless!
Yes, I am unabashadly, obnoxiously proud of my son!
His little sister is giving him a run for his money, though.
Hmm. Sturnfields part 2?
