I last read this 45 years ago. This time round, I'm enjoying the slow build. It's a travesty that Tom Bombadil was left out of the two cinematic versions. Yes, it doesn't directly forward the plot, but that said, it's a fun interlude with some interesting world building. I'd rather have seen Tom in the Jackson film than a lot of the extraneous material that was added.
