I am an avid reader and I really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings series.  My favorite book was the Fellowship of the Ring.  Which book is your favorite?
It's hard for me to pick a favorite. They are all so good. If I had to pick I would pick Fellowship of the Ring as well.
Who is your favorite character from the books?  I am partial to Gandalf because of his wisdom and immortality.
I would say that my favorite character is Aragorn. I like his strength and ability as a leader and fighter.
I understand that Tolkien was actually a terrible typist.  He hunt and pecked his way with two fingers for all 1,200 pages of of text for the books!
I didn't know that. Do you think it's true? Must have taken him forever.
I do believe it is true since typing probably wasn't as popular when he was writing those books in the 1940's.  It took him around 15 years to write all the books, so his fingers must have been very tired.
Very interesting indeed. I'm going to have to look around online to verify this. I bet it's true though. 
Have you ever watched the movies?  They do an amazing job of bringing the fantasy and characters to life and they have won many awards, including more than 10 Oscars!.
Oh yeah, many times. I can't seem to get enough of the movies. I really like "The Two Towers" when it comes to the movies for some reason.
The Two Towers is many people's favorite of the trilogy.  It has the highest ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.  I think the story in The Two Towers in the most engaging and the effects are amazing, as always!
For me I think it's the Helms Deep battle that I like so much.
