That's what I'm doing now. I first read them right after high school. I was sad to come to the end. I always wanted there to be a movie, but I never believed a movie could do Tolkien's masterpiece justice. I was wrong. I have seen the first 2, including the extended versions, several times. I have seen Return of the King twice now, and am thinking of going again. I re-read the Hobbit last week and am in the Fellowship of the Ring now (in the mines of Moria). Should finish it in a couple of days and start on the Two Towers.
