So, when the Fellowship of the Ring movie came out, I had to read the book before they let me watch it.<br/>Once I got started though, I read all three before I saw the first movie!

I love the series, (books and movies) and have felt like re-reading them again today, if I were not in the middle of Lewis' Space Trilogy. I read them out loud to my two youngest brothers, (finishing each just before it's movie came out), and your description of what those jewels of books work on one at the end of the day is refreshingly true. If there's one thing better than a wonderfully beautiful book, it's reading it together with loved ones.<br/><br/>(For anyone looking for audio versions, by the way, I highly recommend those read by Rob Inglis. He has an amazing deep voice, and a bonus is his wonderful tunes to fit the numerous songs!)<br/><br/>And Lanier, I like Peter Kreeft too! I had already listened to and was enchanted by that lecture of his, as did my mom (a fellow Tolkien fan). I listened to him often last semester while knitting and doing dishes. ;-)<br/><br/>In Christ,<br/>~Rael~ Lanier, your post gave me shivers.
