Skimmed through it; mostly reading the paragraphs above each picture. The irony of which is not lost on me :)
Really enjoyed the part talking about Tolkien. It reminds me of my own LOTR experience:
I finished the trilogy in three consecutive summers in the hilly countryside of Italy near Rome.
The first summer I made it through the fellowship of the ring with a lot of patience and trying for the slower moving parts.
The summer after that I started over and read book 1 and 2, and in year three I felt I was finally in sync with the pace of the book and enjoyed reading through book 1, 2, and 3 in a few weeks.
