I’m about 55 hours into Andy Serkis reading The Lord of the Rings. Terrific so far, but we’ll see how the final 10 hours go. 🙂

That's mine as well. I've listened to it twice now.

I loved the trilogy. Andy Serkis is a phenomenal talent. The way he uses his voice for different characters makes it so immersive.

When I read the books I tended to skip over the songs and poems, they seemed self-indulgent to me, something that Tolkien loved, but a slog to read. But listening to Andy Serkis sing them really brought them to life. (Except the songs that Aragorn and Legolas sang for Boromir. That was too much.)
