I've read The Fellowship of the Ring and the rest of The Lord of the Rings around seven times. I think it would be cool to read it in another language. I'm learning French right now so maybe I could give it a try in a year or so.

I've read the books 3 times, but look over parts at least a few times a week.

I would have never been able to read it when I was five years old. Way to hard. I first read it when I was fifth grade and it was tough then.

This is my 3rd time reading the books. I am currently on the second chapter of The Two Towers. I read the books for the first time myself when I was 13/14 (1997/1998) and then read them again when the movies came out, and now reading them sort of post-film. My mom used to read the Hobbit to me and my sister as a bedtime story when we were kids. Haven't read it myself though in quite awhile..

I've read the books many times... I think four or five times since Christmas 2004 when I recieved LOTR as a present...
The Fellowship (my edition is in 3 books as I wanted :)) I'm reading (and I'm also reading Book of the Lost Tales I for second time but I'm alsmost finished with it) in the moment, so it'll be my 5th (I think) time...

I think when I re-read it just before they released FOTR it was my fifth time. It had been many years since I had read it and it seemed just as fresh and wonderful as it was the first time I read it at 13. - WMW

I've read it twice, but I was sort of a new fan, since I came to read the books after the movies.
