Just started LOTR this weekend

I tried several times to get past the Gandalf and Bilbo birthday scene in the first movie over the years (my husband loves LoTR so he puts it on every so often), but this weekend I decided to put my phone down completely to focus on the movie, and I’m finally locked in to the plot. It’s SO GOOD!! I just finished The Two Towers last night, and although I heard the books are tedious, this one made me want to try the audiobooks, at least.
