A friend got me the 4-book set (Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy) and I dont really
see myself reading any of the other stuff after I finish these... Its just a
bit wordy, plodding, and thick... I read a *lot* (at least one book/day), and
had to struggle through the Hobbit because it really didnt get interesting till
the end.
