Didn't anyone else think that The Lord of the Rings were boring books? I slaved my way through the first book because of the hype from the film. I couldn't get 100 pages in to the Two Towers it was just so boring.

 absolutely!  And I've read the Octopus by Frank Norris.

That's a book about wheat and the railroad....over 750 pps long....more enjoyable than Tolkein.

 

The movies, on the other hand, are amazing.
