Sandy replies:

It just isn't the kind of thing I like to read. To me, they have more of a 
sci-fi feel to them than fantasy. I hate sci-fi, and, quite frankly, fantasy is 
not something I normally read. I read mostly non-fiction....
  ...
  My brother is a big LOTR fan and 
has the entire series, but despite so many people telling me how good they are 
and that if I like HP I will like LOTR I just simply am not interested in 
them. ...  I have close to 50 books sitting around my 
apartment, and there are more that I want to get, that I haven't read yet and want to 
read, so I am not going to waste my time reading something I am not interested 
in. 

  
Kemper now:
  I wish I never read LOTR.  It took me a summer, and I can't get that summer back.  It is one of the most boring books in existance.  That's not hyperbola.  
   
  I love SciFi and Fantasy:  Battlestar Galactica (old and new, 'So say we all'), Star Wars (except for Jar Jar), Star Trek (all versions), Firefly and Serenity (God bless Joss Wheadon... check out his Astonishing X-Men!), vampires in comics (30 Days of Night) books (Sonja Blue series) movies (Night Watch), Avatar: the Last Airbender, His Dark Materials trilogy, The Bartimaeus trilogy, NBC's Earth 2 and Heroes, and more.  
   
  I'm geeky, but I make it look bad-ass.  
   
  So... LOTR sucks.  That said, I liked the Hobbit.
   
  Kemper
