The Two Towers remains to this day the only book that I was reading by my own choice that I skipped parts of. Maybe I'd read them if I was reading it today (it was the history lecture part, I wanted them to get on with the story but might appreciate the history more now), but I don't really care to read Tolkien again. I'll always appreciate what he did for the fantasy genre, but it has evolved beyond him now IMO.
