And I thought it was always a single book? I remember reading it before it suddenly became a "trilogy." Over a thousand pages of pure hell.
And my use of "read" is past tense. I could only stomach it once, and that was mainly because it was required. I can appreciate Tolkien's talent as a writer, but I'm not one to read a book and be able to "see" it.
I guess I'm just a big dummy who needs a movie to show me what Orcs and Ents are, because my imagination sucks.
