Roger,

I couldn't disagree more, but since it's a matter of opinion there's not much more that can be said! (although I'm certain someone other than myself would try )

Over the course of my life I've read the books probably six or seven times. I get something different out of them each time. The last time around I read them twice in a row (two years ago). I've got a .pdf copy of all three and The Hobbit if anyone's interested (PM me).
