# But
surely it also encourages people to read the books?

# Not
from what I've seen. The majority of people I've seen in the cinema (when I go - which is rarely) probably think a hardback is some sort of turtle.

# I think that's
really snobby.
I read every day, and all different kinds of books and I love going to the cinema and I don't think I'm alone in that.

# I very much doubt
that you are alone in that. I freely admit that people who watch films read as well, probably more than me in some cases - but I live in Bristol, and the Showcase near St Philips Causeway is always full of really annoying townies/janners/schemies (whatever you want to call them) because it's in that sort of area. I'm only writing from my own personal experience. Sorry if I offended.

# Not really,
I just think yo shuld throw caution to the wind, forget what you remember and just try to enjoy it.
Widen your scope a little bit.

# Perhaps
you'd care to pop into a local bookshop, look at the shelves of LOTR books etc... and then ask the staff how well it's been selling.

Something tells me, it's not been gathering dust...
