Okay, I'm putting this to a vote.

I've got all three volumes of the NPR adaptation of LOTR. Having gotten through the first volume (ow), I'm at a crossroads, and so I want y'all's opinion here.

I'm having fun listening to this thing, partly because I get to pass on my assessment of the damage (The horror, the horror!...), and partly because I really can't believe how bizarre it is. Really, it's like having a big car accident happen right in front of your house - you can just sit in your window and watch all the goings-on. *shudder*


So I'd like to know if you all are enjoying the running comments I've been making in my last post. Should I continue? Or do you not give a fuck? I figure there are still unguessed-at joys in the next two volumes. After all, we've yet to meet a single orc, or Treebeard, or the Mouth of Sauron, for that matter. And I'm actually curious as to what the Battle with Shelob is gonna sound like. (Something like Billy Barty in a duel with one of those $50 aliens on Star Trek TOS, I imagine. Ta-ta TA-TA-TA-TA tata-TATA...)

Votes? Opinions?

Late to this thread, but please continue! I'm rereading LOTR as we speak, too. It's really fun for me to rediscover it. :-)
