Go to Post Do you guys mind if we postpone kick-off to around January 26 or so? We can still keep the ship date on February 20, if that isn't a problem. - dlavery [more]

As literature goes, you guys have to realize that you won't understand LOTR movies until you read LOTR books, including the ultra-long Silmarillion. There is so much there that you can't get from a film.

So with books, LOTR tops Star Wars with immense ease.
You don't need to read the books to get the movies, but it sure does help.

I've read 2/3 of the trilogy, and The Hobbit, and surprisingly, I actually like the movies more. Probably because I saw them first though.

The books were much too descriptive. It doesn't take 5 pages to describe a man coming over a hill and singing.
