I have read the Silmarillion once in Swedish and once in English, the Hobbit twice, Lotr 6 times, the book of Lost Tales 1 & 2 once, and am hunting the other books....
Oh..when we´re talking about books..when I was in the north of Sweden (came home yesterday) I bought a "kind of"-biography (about Tolkien, in Swedish), and J.R.R Tolkien-A Biography by Carpenter, in English, I am very happy.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] :EDIT: - I must have miscounted something when talking about LotR... I am reading it for the 9th time right now (in English for the first time, lovely!) And I have only read LotR once since I posted in this thread. Ack, missed one time! How horrible.. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Oh well, just had to change that, it was bothering me... [ November 21, 2002: Message edited by: Eärendil ]

Since i´m from Argentina, i read the books in spanish. I´d love to try the english version but i´m afraid it´s gonna be a bit too advanced for my english [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] It would be nice to read it with the original names and everything.
Maybe i´ll give it a try when i´m done with the unfinished tales!

ya know in all honesty, i started to read the Hobbit and put it down because i got bored. So, i started to read LOTR. And, oh my gosh! I couldn't put it down! I read them though once, and then read all my fav parts again and again! LIke, in ROTK, i read the last stretch of Frodo's burden like once a week at least, if not more! And call me pathetic, cause i am, but i read 'a knife in the dark' and 'flight to the ford' a million times since the movie came out in theaters. What can i say? They are the best books ever written! Tolkien IS the author of fantasy!

Let's see, this is actually a very hard question for me. My family is very...er...Tolkien-friendly (my parents named 3 of us with Middle-Earth first names and the rest have Middle-Earth names for middle names, just to point one odd fact). Very, very soon after I was born my parents read me the Hobbit, and after that The Lord of the Rings, then the Silmarillion. Imagine reading the Sil to a baby. As a direct result of this my first word was, "Maedhros!" Anyway...moving on...I think they continued reading all three of these books to me until I was old enough to read them for myself, which happened around 4th grade. I read the Sil for myself around 6th grade. I'm seventeen now and I have lost count of both how many times I had the books read to me and how many times I have read them myself. So my answer is, "Too many times to be considered normal anymore." I have read UT twice though and I am currently waiting for the HoME volumes I ordered to arrive.

I've read LOTR once but I plan to reread the trilogy sometime early next year...
I have yet to make it through The Silmarillion or The Hobbit even once...

I've read LOTR 5 times and I'm reading TTT again before the movie comes out but I'll probably just read the whole thing! I've read the Hobbit twice BUT I CAN'T FIND THE SILMARILLION ANYWHERE!! I used to live in Malaysia so it was no suprise but now I'm in Australia and still I can't get it. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
anyway my mum read the hobbit and lotr to me when I was young so I've been addicted ever since. an you know what? my mum complains that I'm too obsessed!

I believe I've read the whole set three times through, and The Silmarillion once. (Currently on my second go.) The Hobbit around four or five times. I have to finish The Two Towers by noon on Saturday, as I'm going to see the exhibit then. Huzzah!

I've read The Hobbit 3 times, LOTR 5 times, The Silmarillion 2 times (I'm working on my 3rd), and UT 1 time.
FYI I don't have very much spare time to read. I go to school. I am taking all of the honors courses that are offered at my school and I get entirely too much homework. So, my spare time is limited. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

If you go back to the first page, you'll find someone named "hegemonmatt". That's me! I've read it easily over a hundred times now, though not quite as frequently as I used to. Maybe once a week when I find the time. THe Silm i've now read 11 times, as it takes a week to get through.

I'm on "The Last Debate" in RotK for the 2nd time. My mum doesn't let me read LotR, so I try to read a little rarely. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
