The things I like about these books became some foundational parts of the ways I relate to storytelling, and on my outlook on the world. The things I dislike about these books ended up being the most foundational influences on our media environment.
If you liked the movies, I strongly suggest reading the books. Approach them with an open mind, but don't cut Tolkien too much slack either. Also, don't skip the poems and songs! Reading them aloud is also quite rewarding
In the end, this series for me will always be about being sad while hanging out in nature. I wish there were more people out there who liked what I liked in this
