How long did it take you to read LOTR?

where?

This is for me to know and you to wonder

IT TOOK ME FIVE DAYS PER BOOK.BUT IT SEEMED TO GO SO QUICKLY BECAUSE I WAS ENJOYING IT SO MUCH!

Hullo WHITEWIZZARD, welcome to Entmoot......please make yourself at home!

It really did!
I just finished it last week and it was the best read of my life, I was reading it over a period of three month becasue I was very busy with college work to read it that much!
But I managed to complete it at last, although I found the war tales with Aragorn and Lady Eoewn very boring!

About 2 months, but it took longer than it should have. I turned each book around and started it over from the beginning again as I finished each one.

It takes less and less time to read it every time I do. The first time I read it it took me like a month, but that was in Grade 6, now it takes 3-5 days. But I guess after you read it a lot of times you don't need to read over parts to understand them. I am sure most people feel this way, after a point you almost have it memorized and could speed read it if you really wanted too. Now the Silmarillion, that takes me a long time to read cuz it is really confusing, far too many names and places to memorize and keep track of.

I am reading it again for the fourth time but,this time I am doing it in "real time". I suspect this will take quite some time.

The war of the ring take two years
have a nice reading

and welcome here

The first time it took me two months. Mind you, I was in year six then. My best time is twelve hours, in the holidays of cource, but that was reading it very quickly and not getting enought details. Now it's more like a day or two. And in those two and a half years I think I've read it about eight or nine times :-p
