After a long hiatus, I've finally started (re-started) reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. As others have mentioned before, it seemed to take awhile getting through the initial parts of Fellowship, but things have been cruising along now. Just about finished with FOTR, and hope to move on to TTT after that. I hadn't really had much time to sit down and read for awhile, but the wife recently got into the Twilight books after we picked up the DVD (read all four in a week and a half), so its given me some time to read some of the books I've been meaning to get to as well. Also, although maybe not technically a "book", I did just read through Batman: The Long Halloween as well.
