I havent actually seen the movies,, and I really really want to iβm sure iβd love them. I thought it'd be fun to read the books first tho. Iβm about 2/3 of the way through and ive been reading it for a couple months now. Its taking me a while, which I expected, but iβm really enjoying it!! has anyone else read the books before watching the movies? If so, did you read all three books then watch all three movies or watch book 1 then movie 1 and etc. at what point did you read/ watch the hobbit?
