Fellowship of the Ring and A Fine Balance still - LOVING Fine Balance, though I know it's going to end very badly. Going to start Fires on the Plain soon, my friend gives it the highest recommendation.

The Lord of the Rings. I loved The Hobbit, I was into fantasy, everyone loves Lord of the Rings. My mother used to re-read it every year because it was her favourite fantasy. My mother had excellent taste in books. She gave me a beautiful box set when I was in my late teens. I read ...

I'm reading on and on, and kinda of had to put my two cents in. I've abandoned the first book of Lord of the Rings at least 3 times. I think I'm too simplistic, I don't want to have an on going complex explanation of things. However, I am determined to finish the trilogy someday, as I heard it' ...

Fellowship of the Ring; used to reread these books every year, but now I'm getting back to it after about a 5 year absence. Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway; based on the true story of the cellist who played for 22 days after 22 people were bombed. Could be a little maudlin but the ...

I just bought A Child called "It" by David Pelzer and The Fellowship of the Ring by Tolkien for 500 Yen each which is sooo cheap! I think I read the first one years ago and I gave the Ring-Triology a try when the first movie was released but I thought it was so boring... So I will try it ...

... in my quest to find a Christie fan who likes the book, to explain to me why :) I finally reviewed the audiobook of The Fellowship of the Ring that I finished about two weeks ago (review: http://www.librarything.com/review/51156746). I'm well into The Two Towers now and enjoying it ...

... that second time! Normally I hesitate a bit before diving into something as huge as LOTR, but I was determined to finish The Fellowship before the movie came out. Mine's a one-volume copy, so I read straight through all three books and tumbled out the other side a bit dazed and wondering ...

... interest for Pratchett, so getting suggestions for Neil Gaiman or Tom Holt would be welcome. Or if I have read Fellowship of the Ring I really don't need to be recommended Two Towers, if for some reason I haven't read it, it is not because I don't know it exists. Those shouldn't ...

55. The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R Tolkien (category 9) *** Too many German military history books = re-reads of cozy old favorites. It didn't disappoint, although I find it odd that Fellowship is my favorite book of the trilogy, but my least favorite of the movies. Hmm...

... and embroidered it with Tolkien's glyph. Above the bed are the original covers of The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Fellowship of the Ring. The other framed pictures include a big map of middle earth, Gandalf, Smaug, Treebeard, etc. Thanks for letting me share my excitement.

... one go and it was totally worth it! Yeah, it's a bit difficult and I did feel tempted (during The Two Towers, not during The Fellowship of the Ring) to give up too. But if you stick to it you are going to enjoy it a whole lot. My favorite part is The Return of the King.

... Good translation, but not so great transcription in some points. I've found quite a few typos... Also re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring. I read The Hobbit and The Fellowship a while ago, but I never got to reading The Two Towers or The Return of the King, so I'm starting ...

... Gap, Alastair Reynolds S- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, Mary Ann Shaffer T- The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkein U- V- Stray by Rachel Vincent W- The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde X- Y- Z- The Prophec ...

Yeah Cryptonomicon was great and all, but four pages on breakfast ... why? I also have to admit that The Lord of the Rings could have been a bit shorter, especially the first book, even though I am a fan and kind of like the verbose style.

So I just went to The Fellowship of the Ring and doing some digging, the LT connection takes us to our page, where the amazon connection takes us to an unreviewed Spanish copy of it. Finding an english copy there are 862 reviews, but you can't see all the comments, you have to look at each review ...

... percent opt in for commentary, can this not escalate to getting out of hand?" Do the comments on the reviews of The Fellowship of the Ring on Amazon seem out of hand to you?

So if we have a popular book, say The Fellowship of the Ring which has a lot of readers, and not only now, but over the course of time gets hundreds of reviews, and say ten to twenty percent opt in for commentary, can this not escalate to getting out of hand? Every so often, a professionally ...

... together and flagging partial versions in the metadata. No amount of metadata or wiggle-room in "sameness" will make The Fellowship of the Ring be the same thing as Return of the King, but your original proposal (to combine both of these with Lord of the Rings, and thus with each ...

>13 Count me in, too. Read The Hobbit for a class in college and struggled to finish it. Gave The Fellowship of the Ring a try - twice - and couldn't get more than 30 pages or so in. I just don't care for his writing style. I won't deny Tolkien's talent or intelligence; he's just not my cup ...

The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien well, i suppose it was inevitable.

... read LOTR by a friend of mine who's read them every three years since she was 14. Finally, I succumbed, and after reading The Fellowship of the Rings it was like the skies cleared of dark clouds, birds began singing, the Red Sea was parted once again (you get the idea). Suffice it to say I ...

... the ban might actually have been right. It is possible, not likely mind you but possible that if I'd been allowed to read The Fellowship of the Ring at age thirteen my reaction might have been similar to yours. But, my goodness! Remind me not to waxe lyrical on the monumental virtues of The ...

... So far I'm sure that I want NOT to have it in a hospital. All else is still mutable.) Then, the year after, I picked up The Fellowship of the Ring because the boy I had a huge crush on was reading it and I wanted to be able to talk to him about something that wasn't school gossip or baseball. ...

... no sign of appearing soon. That was my one quibble, that it was left so obviously as a trilogy, as in the style of The Fellowship of the Ring. I desperately desperately want to get to the second right now!! I would advice not reading this until all three are out, unless you enjoy the ...

I've finally gotten enough courage to start The Fellowship of the Ring. A few years ago I got the box set and disliked The Hobbit so much that I was wary of starting three more of the books in the same vein. So fary I've only gotten to the prologue. In the non-fiction section, I'm reading Wh ...

... taking a short break on my journey, but fully expect to be both sailing on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and joining The Fellowship of the Ring in a very short time.

The Fellowship of the Ring - JRR Tolkein. A reread inspired by a recent rereading of The Hobbit. I was really struck this time by the level of description. The first time I read the trilogy I was speeding through to find out what happened next. This time I'm taking a more leisurely approach. Fel ...

I acquired The Fellowship of the Ring and Maurice Jarre's soundtrack for Dr. Zhivago at about the same time and found the music much better suited to the Middle Earth than to Russia. It's been forty years and Lara's Theme still brings hobbits to mind rather than Julie Christie.

I still remember the visceral terror of trying to read The Fellowship of the Ring when I was 10. I'd loved The Hobbit, and the language and general themes weren't a problem - but the Ring Wraiths scared the heck out of me. I didn't even make it past Weathertop in the books until I was 14.
