I have re-read them all a few times now and, over the years, have found I've perceived them differently each time; a product of getting older and thinking differently rather than the words changing. It's been a really great experience, my understanding and perception changes, and I look forward to it occurring again.
I totally agree with this paragraph,
One of my professors from university used to say that a book should be read at least 3-4 times, that the taste and discoveries we will get each time will be different from each other.
I can say this about Lord of the Rings, it was a series that I didn't watch and read for some reason until I was 25 years old, but thanks to my boyfriend @incublus I watched the series from start to finish last month. It's really a perfect world, if I were to summarize it in one word 'masterpiece', which I'm sure the books are even better - it's always like that - one of my 2023 goals this year is to read the series from start to finish beautifully slowly.
The books really are something special and I'm glad you're going to read them this year. The movies are also good, there is no doubt, but the way the words work themselves into my imagination is incredible. I hope you love them.
