Syed Nawaz asked this question about The Lord of the Rings:
I haven't read Tolkiens works, but I really want to. My concern is that currently, the LOTR movies are currently my favourite movies of all time (this is coming from someone who doesn't usually have favourites). Will reading the books ruin my love for the movies? I know this will depend on me, but I wanted to see the general opinion.

I saw the film first and then decided to read the books, which I finished before seeing the next two films. I loved the books and I love the movies. I think, as far as book to film adaptations go, Peter Jackson did a great job. I reread the books every year and watch the movies several times per year. Both are my favorites.(less)
