My husband  read the Tolkien books with my oldest son, younger one 
listened occasionally.  They wanted me to read the Redwall series by 
Brian Jacques, but he's written close to 20 books!  I figured my oldest 
would be out of high school--and I'd be out of breath--before we 
finished and I was too overwhelmed--so we're sticking to non-series type 
books for now.
