I was pleasantly impressed with the movies. With few exceptions they
stayed very close to the book. One of the things they did leave out
of the movie was the visit with Tom Bombadill. I think that alone is
a reason to read the books. I am not a "Tolkeinist" or whatever you
might call an extreme fan, but I do think that The Lord of the Rings
is probably the best work of fiction ever written. I envy those who
can look forward to reading it for the first time. Oh. don't forgot
"The Hobbit", "Farmer Jiles of Hamm" and the "Father Christmas
Letters".
