(@internrachel & @julia1) I just finished The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers; 447 pages. I have read The Hobbit several times and first read The Fellowship when I was in high school 5 or so years ago. For some reason or another, I got distracted and never finished the series! I found a beautiful box set of Tolkien at the thrift store and just had to grab it. Anyway, The Hobbit will always be my favorite but I loved it none-the-less. I especially enjoyed the interactions Merry and Pippin had with the Ents that were left out of the film, as well as the meeting with Faramir. I will be starting Return of the King shortly. :D
