Trolling? Are you serious?

lol, even for someone who is obviously as much of a fan as you, i didn't think you'd catch that obscure reference to the book. it went a little differently in the movie, and i thought i was the only one who still really prefered to read.

Yes, I missed him dropping his axe in front of Treebeard's eyes!

Well I do read but I didn't finish the books yet.

You aren't the only one who prefers to read, g-man. If a popular book becomes a movie and I haven't read the book yet, I have a personal rule of reading the book before seeing the movie. The most recent examples would be Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code (yeah, yeah, I'm about 12 years late for the bus on that one) and Angels & Demons. I didn't go out to buy the DVDs until I finished the books, and, as always seem to be the case, the books were infinitely better. The movies were still really great, and Tom Hanks was the perfect choice to be Robert Langdon, but a movie just never seems to measure up to the book.

Advice: read "The Silmarillion" the last. "The hobbit" and LOR don't have the same charm when you understand every detail.

The Silmarillion? I have never heard of that series. Who is the author? Wow. This forum has accumulated over 6000 veiws! Dang! Never expected I'd get this many views on this topic. Well. I currently was a victim of trolling the other day lol. Yet again XD. It was on a MMORPG video game online and I got really humiliated lol. Its all good though. All fun and games to me these days. Water under the bridge. What I am trying do, however, is find people to help me put an end to Cyber-Bullying which has taken a very dangerous leap in the past decade.

The silmarillion is a book by Tolkien, same author as LoR.

Oh nice. I'll look into it. Thank you for telling me.

like pulp said, read LoR and the hobbit first.

I took a look at that series and it is pretty interesting.
