Lord of the rings is amazing....
YES!  It is really a work of art.  The movies have stood the test of time as well.
Have you read all of Tolkein books?
Not yet, it's a work in progress for me.  My brother-in-law has read everything.  His favorite is The Similrilion, so that's the next one I'm going to read. 
Which book is your all time favorite?
As of right now, The Hobbit is probably my favorite.  Do you have a favorite?
I prefer to read military books...
Oh, well, I know nothing of those.  I've always been into fantasy.
Do you feel they do a good job capturing the book in the movie?
As good as they could have.  Movies always fall short capturing books.
