I was loaned a copy of the Hobbit by a classmate. Within a few days I'd finished it & found LOTR in the library. Those books absolutely changed my approach to reading as I could not put them down. I still have copies of the Silmarillion, Tales of Middle Earth, The Hobbit & LOTR. I'd later watch the movies but they didn't do much for me even if they were good. I feel like the book is a much more immersive, complete experience IMO.
Very fair! Total agreement on how immersive the books are. I think the movies are very, very good. Maybe excellent adaptations, but the books have a lot going for them too.
