Is it okay?

I'm reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy right now -- well, not RIGHT now, because I'm blogging, but you know what I mean. And anyway, I'm wondering if people would smack me around if I said I liked the movies better so far. I mean, the books are interesting -- lots more information on some things -- but I don't know if I could plow through them if I hadn't seen the movie to know that the story is really interesting.

Anyway, at least I'm finally reading them.
