I suppose I'll read the books one of these says. Although I came out

of

Harry Potter with a greater desire to read those books.

Chris Blaise
That's my take as well. In fact, I was hoping that LOTR would instill the same kind of excitement that Harry Potter did to read the books.

I'm reading the first book now, but I'm wondering whether I should read

the

second book or not. I really want to read the second book, but I wonder

if

I should wait till the 2nd movie comes out so it won't be spoiled.

IMO if you read the other two books, you'll see things mentioned in them that appeared in the movie and that's when those things start to make sense. I read them years ago but after my first viewing I had to read them again and it's been much more entertaining [and addicting] for me on the second reading. You also have to remember that TTT won't be exactly like the book word by word and it'll have some things changed, I'm sure.

Chris Blaise
It didn't.

C'Pi
Weird huh? I wanted to read the 2nd Harry Potter book to know what

happens

next, but I don't really care what happens next in LOTR.

I wanted to read the second HP book after I finished the first one but then I started reading something else and just didn't bother buying it. People tell me they're good books.
