I just saw a clip from LOTR Two Towers and I never got into LOTR and now feel like I lack some culture not having read any of it. I also haven’t watched any of the movies. I tried watching The Hobbit (first movie) but I didn’t understand any of it. Maybe it’s not for me? I like sci fi but not sure about phantasy. Can you understand each book without reading them in order? How many books are there? Is it still a trilogy?
Welcome to Middle-Earth! If you’re going to read then it’s: HOBBIT> FELLOWSHIP, TOWERS, RETURN. If you’re going to watch them, then skip The Hobbit trilogy it’s an infamously bad adaptation.
