I’m particular about not watching movies until I’ve read the books. I have zero knowledge of LOTR. After reading some posts on this sub and in r/tolkienfans, there are conflicting responses in regards to the question, “what order?” For context, some say that mature readers should jump into FotR and skip over the Hobbit due to it mainly being a juvenile read. Others say to read the Hobbit first to ensure you can understand some deeper connections. Thoughts?
