I love it too! My boyfriend turned me on to the books - he re-reads them every year. I've read them all at least twice. I bought the DVD the day it came out, I had seen the movie in the theaters on Christmas Day. We have a delicious home theater set-up (big screen, DTS sound, speakers everywhere) so I usually wait for the DVD to come out - I hate going to theaters. And lately, the LotR soundtrack is in my car stereo, on my bathroom stereo, and on my computer - it is a great soundtrack! I can't wait for the Two Towers movie, I really can't.
