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 assure you that you will be transformed to a new level of understanding, which is more clear and very interesting.
You will start to enjoy the scenes from the movie which you would have ignored before.
You will be amazed that you will even remember the names of places & characters better.
Some characters have multiple names (e.g: Legolas, Gandalf, Strider - all these have so many names), You will recognize these names when it is used in the movie, which may not be understood by the audience who have not read the book.

I highly recommend you to read the book & get transported to the world of middle earth...........& get lost.......(less)
