LotR: Not as good as the movies

I don't know about anyone else, but I found JRR Tolkien's book really dull and reading it was a real chore.  Big props to Peter Jackson for turning it into a highly watchable trilogy.

yes 28, I do laugh at you. My brother pointed out what you said to me and I said "no, that can't be right". then I re-read what you said.

Who has enough free time to listen to LotR via books on tape? Do you spend a lot of time in the car? Are you a traveling salesman.

I admit I liked the movies better also, by the way. The only bad part about translating it to a movie is that after Mount Doom I was ready to leave the theater. Movies aren't supposed to be structured with so much after the climax.
