On the Other Hand [In reply to] Can't Post
I read LOTR every summer and have been do so for the last 20 years. It has become something of a ritual. Once I hand in my grades and my teaching responsibilities end (usually the middle of May) I begin reading LOTR. It usually takes me all summer because I only read it at night before bed. For me the experience is magical. I especially love Sam (who imo is the hero of the book) and Aragorn the ideal knight and king.
Of course my favorite book in The Silmarillion, but I am partial to the Old Testament.
