Inspired by seeing Lord of the Rings, I reread the story last night (not just the first volume, but all three). I stayed up all night reading them, so I was obviously rather caught up in them, but there were bits that rather bored me as well. Specifically, all the chapters that focused only on Frodo and Sam after they separated from the rest of the Fellowship bored me a bit. Nonetheless, if you liked the movie, I'd recommend reading the books. But then I always recommend that people read the books movies are based on; everyone can benefit from some recreational reading, and if you already know the plot, the books are often easier to read.
I think that I probably should have spent a bit more of my time last night reading though Nick's proposal for the Microsoft Web Services contest we're entering, but what can you do?
