I have to admit I've only read the Lord of the Rings once (1965). I expect
to read it again, eventually, in a less-busy phase of my life. The
problem with reading things over again (let alone over and over) is
that it eats up time. This leads eventually to having a set of things
you reread in a repeated pattern (oh, this is August, time for
Jane Austen). Just now (young kids) I haven't nearly enough time
to keep up with even that subset of new stuff that really appeals to
me, let alone the other items that have less appeal but seem to be
worthy of attention. Even on my list of books to be reread, though,
LOTR doesn't come all that high, mostly because of its length. On the
other hand, talking about it has brought back some memories; maybe I'll try
taking in on our next vacation...
