TommyG663513 01/28/18 7:32:26 AM #7:	CoN had less useless filler. They usually only dragged after the climax while tying up all the loose ends. I honestly never finished reading LotR as a kid, because it was so long and sometimes boring for long stretches. Though I'm sure the 7 CoN books are all together a decent bit longer. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 <cite>TommyG663513 posted [p:894956568] in People alw...
