How many times have you read LOTR?

Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not intending to sound like I'm bragging. As a matter of fact, I'm sure there are people out there who have read the trilogy more times than I. I'm just curious to see how many times the average person has read it.

Me, I'm currently on my ninth reading. And I will have to say that each time I read it, it takes a little longer than the previous time to get through it. But each time is still just as entertaining as the first. Well, maybe just as entertaining as the second or third. Nothing will ever be as good as the first time.
