Lord of the Rings - been through the trilogy three times so far. I dig out the books every 15 years or so, on average. I tend to skip over Tom Bombadil though. He's annoying. The Hobbit - I can't count. Three or four times before I were 17, then about once every 18 months, aloud to the kids and grandkids. That, plus Alice in Wonderland, are the two favorite bedtime story books. Not one member of our family has seen or will see the movie, because it would destroy something special we have as a family.The Simarillion - Look, I tried. Never managed to get more than 40 pages in. It is an instant insomnia cure as far as I can tell!
Too bad...I think you would like the tale of Turin Turambar and his black sword...Tolkiein's son did with his Father's notebooks much the same as Frank Herbert's son did with his. The Book of Lost Tales....The Lays of Beleriand....there is a lot there.Ever hear of a guy named Larry Niven?? Some of his writings would make an incredible movie, given the state of computer animation these days....I would start with "Protector", advance through the "Ringworld" series and proceed to "Footfall"...
