Alas I have only read LotR once and the Hobbit once and I am in early goings of Silm. I do mean to read them all again and Home and UT but I cant manage multiple books at the same time so its up in the air what I read next after Silm. Also schoolwork keeps me busy if thats any excuse.

I have read The Hobbit + Lord of the Rings trilogy 8-10 times. The last time probably 10 years ago. Silmarillion I have read twice.

The Hobbit:12 times (no need for me to read it anymore, as I have it memorized)
The Silmarilian: 4 times HoME: I am currently on my second read I first read the Lord of the rings when I was seven, and the nazgul scared me so much that I skipped the second half of the Fellowship and went straight into Towers (which for some reason, did not scare me as much). I loved the last two books, and read them at least ten times before my tenth Birthday, when I got a special edition from my grandparents, and decided to finally read the Fellowship. In the three years proceeding that I have read LoTR all the way through about 63 times. And somehow I've managed to convince my parents that I don't have way too much time on my hands [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ...

I've read The Hobbit twice and the whole series only once (I know I'm weak) [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]--but I frequently read my favorite passages (mostly Eowyn and Faramir) in RotK.

I've read the Hobbit about 3 times, and I've listened to the audio version about 5 times. I've read Lord of the rings once, but I want to re-read it soon. But first I have to trudge through the Silmarillion, which I am reading for the first time and am stuck about a 1/4 into it. I'm also reading Unfinished Tales for the first time, which I got for Christmas.

I've read the lotr and the hobbit one each and watched the films numerous times. I'm still new to the whole tolkien world so this is just the start of a very long love affair I guess!
I've bought the sil and the unfinished tales but have not had a chance to read them yet. I'm currently buying and reading the history of middle earth series by christopher tolkien. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

well i first discovered the books in 2001 and have since read them 6 times. and of course i will again. each time you pick up the world of Tolkien you discover something that you didnt notice the time before. indication of a true classic.

I started reading them about two years ago, I've read LotR five or six times, and the hobbit once or twice.

Finwe, you scare me. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Teleri, you scare me too. If my parents caught me reading LOTR again I think they'd lynch me. Or ground me. They're miffed enough as it is about UT and Sil...(but I blame my dad- he introduced me to the Hobbit and LOTR. And my Uncle lent me the Silmarillion, UT, Lost Tales and HOME).
I've read the Hobbit twice I think and LOTR all the way through 5 times. I read the Hobbit and LOTR in year 6 (so I was 10-11 years old I think, and I'm 15 now), but when I went back and read the Hobbit, I found the constant naming of the orcs as goblins just irritated me, so I haven't tried again since. I've read the Appendices through twice I think. Then of course I've read bits I want to from LOTR a few times more... I've read the Silmarillion twice (I now have my own copy [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] , and UT at least once (ditto). I can't remember if I got through it again. But I've read Narn i hín Húrin at least 3 times because that is just the most heartbreaking story I've ever read. I can't say I found ROTK that sad, but books rarely get much emotion from me. Narn i hín Húrin would be one of the exceptions. <font size=1 color=339966>[ 8:42 AM January 11, 2004: Message edited by: Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1 ]
