Lord of the Rings

[sydbristow]

All the books are fantastic. The Home series are great too. I have read them all. J. R. R. Tolkien never lets you down.

 

[SiriCerasi]

aaaaaaaaaah i want the HOME series!

 

[Nad]

The ones I have read are amazing. My friend has them all and is kind enough to share!

 

[K. Ackles]

My fav was the Hobbit. It was cute. I'm dying to get my hands on one of the originals though!

 

[SiriCerasi]

haha yeah right... you need a LOT of money for that ^_^

no one i know has them...

 

[Nad]

That's too bad! I loved the Hobbit too! I was thinking about how weird it would be to actually do the Hobbit. They coudl show Legolas running around in Mirkwood or a younger Gimli! He He, I crack myself up, I am Ok though, really! :shocked:

 

[*SPYnish*]

This Summer I´ll read LOTR for 4th Time.

 

[Nad]

My 5th!!!

 

[*Agent Legolas*]

A younger Gimli and Legolas running around Mirkwood... that would be sooo funny!! :lol: ^_^

 

[Nad]

Well you think about it, Legolas would look exactly the same, but jsut to see him walking and hunting and eating with the elves of Mirkwood would be so cool! I didn't have much time to look but does it ever say when Gimli is born in the timelines or family trees? I hope so!

 

[Nad]

OK answer my own question, Gimli was born in 2879 139 during the Fellowship and when Bilbo was at the Lonely Mountain he would have been only 62 years old, his "disappearance" occured when he was apporximately 262 years old.

[*Agent Legolas*]

Hmmm I wonder what a younger Gimli would look like.... :lol: I'm going to read LOTR again this summer!! Yay!!

 

[alisydas]

very strange i would think

 

[Nad]

Me too! Does anyone like the Hobbit better than the Trilogy?

 

[*Agent Legolas*]

I think I like the trilogy more than The Hobbit, but it is still REALLY REALLY great!! ^_^

 

[K. Ackles]

The Hobbit was less confusing and easier to read...so my simple mind liked it better, but they are all great!

Did anyone find it hard to read the Silmarillion?

 

[Nad]

Simarillion is a much more difficult read, especailly if you haven't studied into Middle Earth that much. So yah, it was hard! I liked the trilogy better, though the Hobbit was awesome!

 

[*Agent Legolas*]

Yeah The Silmarillion was kind of confusing at times because of all of the names and stuff. ^_^

 

[Existentialist]

I haven't read the Hobbit, but I loved the trilogy... it was complicated, but that made it all the better. It really hooked me in, and I don't normally read these types of books.
