Neri:
I suspect LotR is one of those books you need to read at the right 
age. I discovered it at 14, which was just perfect. I count myself a 
*huge* LotR fan but the truth is I haven't reread it for at least ten 
years now. Also, LotR indeed has a very slow beginning, and I 
remember myself skipping lines and paragraphs for 100 or 200 pages 
before I really got hooked.

Sherry now:

I too read LOTR for the first time when I was around 14. I read it every
year or so, even now, over 30 years later. There are parts that drag too
much for me still, but I'm so familiar with the story, I know what chapters
to skip! But overall, I actually love the words, the way Tolkien creates a
whole world and various peoples. There is a lot of humor, joy, sorrow and
great adventure. hmmm, it's always hard to explain why I like a book, so
ok, I just like it.

14... funny that was my exposure... give or take a year... I'm 36 now...
after the movies were released I really wanted to go out and buy the entire
series...but my memory says uhhhh no, they were too long ;-) BUT I've read
many a Stephen King novel...so I'm sure it'll be fine.
 
Will get the series again one day.
