#213-To muddy the waters even further i will point out that Harry Potter is 7 books, Lord of the Rings is 3 books, & His Dark Materials is 3-so i have either read 22 or 32 of them if i count up each volume in those series. I have also seen either 17 or 22 of them as movies as well as having ...

... "sci"--it's not just "future fantasy". As for traditional fantasy (obvs series, not individual novels): JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. I think this should really include the whole legendarium, from The Hobbit to Unfinished Tales &c. Otherwise, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion at least ...

... To me, "three thoughts" means "three distinct and complete-unto-themselves thoughts," if that makes any sense whatsoever! The Lord of the Rings is one thought in that it is really one story, not three (though with lots of offshoots and subplots, of course). So a definition of ...

... is, it *is* is one story. Not supposed to be. Tolkien himself talked about the misapplication of the term "trilogy" to The Lord of the Rings somewhere in his letters, I believe. And the definition of trilogy is this: "a series or group of three plays, novels, operas, etc., that, altho ...

I have to be geeky and point out that The Lord of the Rings is not technically a trilogy. A trilogy consists of three works related in theme, each of which can stand on its own as an independent story. This is not the case with The Lord of the Rings, as it is one story broken up into three ...

I tried Lord of the Rings about three years ago - tried really hard, and pushed through all the way to about the first quarter of Return of the King. But I just could not get into it. It just seemed to me to be one random thing happening after another, and Tolkien seemed to be going, "hey, look, ...

... 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 from the beginning. Tolkien's difficult for me to read, for some reason, and I kind of gave up after The Fellowship. Not this time! ...

I've always thought of the first part of Lord of the Rings as a sort of endurance test. It's also a nice, leisurely stroll through Everything That Will Be Lost If Evil Wins, or something. The two that come to my mind are It, by Stephen King (would've been twice as good if it was half as ...

The Return of the King (Book Three of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) by J. R. R. Tolkien

... The Remains of the Day with the group read. I am still trying to finish up Dangerous Liasons from last month and The Return of the King as well. I guess August was a tough month for me.

I should finish up The Return of the King today. I'm working a bit at a time through Selected Poetry and Prose of Shelley mostly at work (during lunch, thank you very much). I'm trying to decide what to open up at home. Maybe finish/read further through The Trivium?

I loved the Lord of the Rings at first, and liked the first half of The Return of the King okay, but the second half just dragged on, like half of the book was epiloguing. I liked the way the movie ended it earlier.

Just finished the extended edition of Return of the King. I love those movies, really should read the trilogy though. Speaking from having seen every version of LotR and read the Hobbit however, I feel I can pretty confidently say Tolkien was a bloody genius. There's a reason most fantasy draws ...

... Enjoyed The Lord of the Rings. Found The Two Towers lagging, but still good enough to finish. Absolutely abhorred The Return of the King. I found the latter seemed to be a 'let's get this bloody trilogy finished' type of writing. I couldn't finish it. The idea that kept flashing ...

The shire part you remember is from Return of the King. It's at the end when they all return. I think though since ROTK was already so long they decided not to include that part in the movie.... It would have been good though :) I'm trying to remember what I read about the Hobbit movies. I ...

And while we're doing LotR, here's a favorite from The Return of the King - Aragorn: "Few other griefs among the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man's heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned."

Sorry to disobey the "no Beatles" clause (well, really, I'm not). But the first time I read The Return of the King, Abbey Road had just come out.

Hmm. We wouldn't be able to get a touchstone for The Return of the King? It will be The Lord of the Rings for all 3? At least there's a name for the set in that case. But no touchstone for a book that had been included in an Omnibus edition, or a boxed set, for instance? I'm not sure how ...
