Of course it is. It's Tolkien.
But I actually think that the movies were kind of better (that's the only book(s) I find worse than the movie) because of a few reasons. The movies were good already, unlike almost all other movies from books, with pretty nice visual effects and all. Also, Tolkien was boring me to death sometimes with his long-windedness, and I felt uninterested in some parts of the books, especially with The Return of the King.
The fact that I watched the movies before I read the books might have affected my opinion though.

I just finished Diary of a Drug Fiend (again) and now have started reading (for a second time) The Book of Thoth - the Egyptian Tarot. Both works are by Aleister Crowley.

Both good books.  I never got around to printing that copy of Book 4; I should do it this week so I have what to read when I'm done with Chapman.

I just started reading The Odyssey - I'd read pieces of it for school, but not all the way through. It's very pretty. You don't really get a sense of that with the little chiseled-out bits they put in textbooks, I guess.

Hey, I'm reading that too. But I'm reading for school, and I don't get to read past where the teacher tells us to stop at. I also like it, but I'm not that far into it yet and I still think that the Iliad was better.

*Bruno had the opportunity to read portions of the Odyssey in their original language.
Not all from the same MS, of course, but still a beautiful read. Although I'll always prefer the Iliad—reading the Iliad was actually a turning point in many subtle aspects of my life. I changed my attitude towards things a little because of that book.

Right now I'm reading Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, and Arthur Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation (Idea).
I'm also going to read Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis (Die Verwandlung).
Current LD goal(s): Have an SD with that cute little crow.

Are the first 3 books worth reading? I sometimes have a problem with work that has been 'challened' from otherworldly entities!

you know, i was always a big Odyssey pusher for the longest time: "The Odyssey is better- it's more exiting, it's more enjoyable, blah blah blah." It took two readings of the Iliad a few years apart for me to change my mind, but when i did, it was drastic.
The Iliad is superior >:3
