I'm curious - all those who have read 5 or more books by Tolkien: Do you count LOTR as 3 books or 1? And have you read Silmarillion, or the Hobbit, or Unfinished Tales as the others? I've read LOTR, and the Hobbit, but couldn't get into Silmarillion. I read some of the Unfinished Tales, but again, not enough of a story line of any sort!

I'm curious - all those who have read 5 or more books by Tolkien: Do you count LOTR as 3 books or 1?

You could also ask if we count it as 6 books.

I'm counting it as six for the purpose of this poll.

And have you read Silmarillion, or the Hobbit, or Unfinished Tales as the others?

Yes to all those.

I've read LOTR, and the Hobbit, but couldn't get into Silmarillion.

The Silmarillion is difficult reading, especially with all those elven names, but if you take a little time to memorize the family trees, the Silmarillion is awesome reading! Very powerful stuff.
