I took the day off from school today, leaving me time to do what I need to. Ah... sleep...
JRRT - how addicted were you?

Well, let's put it this way, I'm 18 now, and I first read the Lord of the Rings in second grade. Haven't stopped since. I also enjoyed one of the animated versions of the rings series, but I wore out the tape it was on, so I don't have it anymore. I just got a copy of the Silmarillion, but haven't read it yet. Trying to find the time, though. If he has other works, I'm not aware of them.

You read LOTR in second grade? Wow - I discovered them in fifth grade. And, like you, I'm still reading them.
I've never seen the cartoon LOTR although I have seen the Hobbit many times, and it's OK but not great.
Other Tolkien that's good -
Farmer Giles of Ham
Smith of Wottton Major
Tree and Leaf
All three are short stories distributed in various Tolkien collections, and quite good. I tried and tried to make my way through the Silmarillion, but couldn't. Maybe I'll try again.
Have you read the Harry Potter books?

Definitely, I picked one up on a whim, and couldn't put it down, so I had to buy em all. Great series, awaiting the sequel this summer.

My little brother got a copy as a present, and I picked it up and was hooked. Like LOTR, I can reread them over and over.... know the feeling?

Definitely know the feeling. I think I reread all my favorite books at least once a year if not more.
