Did any of you managed to read The Lord of the Rings?

Try audiobook

I could not concentrate enough to get through The Hobbit. I’ve restarted dozens of books 10 times or more each.

I did, pre- children. Come to think of it, I did a lot more things ( that I didn't even realize I don't do much anymore) pre- children. I do audiobooks now. My physical books just kinda look pretty.

Hahaha! Same! I have that huge Lord of the Rings book, but no, never read it, just started a lot of years ago… and The Hobbit was easy :)

I did when I was about 13 if I tried now probably end up reading first page like four times two because someone was talking to me same time and other two I read it but didn’t go any further so read again. Cause got no idea what I just read before 😠

Read the fellowship Twice on paperback and the tried and failed twice to get through then other two books. Finally managed to get through them (with ease) listening on audible! Audibles been a revelation for me! Have even worked through the Great Takes on audible! Children of Hurin, Beren and Luthien e.tc.

Hahaha! Thanks for sharing! Guilt I guess helped me finish it... And to know that it was shorter than the other one so the pain was shorter!

I haven't tried with LOTR but I couldn't make it past the first chapter of the Hobbit...how did you manage it?!
