Same for me with the Tolkien Lord of the Rings Trilogy. After two previous attempts that never made it past a few pages into The Two Towers if that far, last summer I decided to give it one more go.

Re-read Hobbit for the fourth time, in something like two days.

Checked out the Trilogy, and BOOM read all three in less than two weeks. Couldn't put them down.

BTW never seen ANY TV shows or movies made out of the books, not sure they would work for me.

Just finished "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Classon. A classic on basic personal finance, if you like allegories. If you want a handbook type guide, it won't be for you.

I'm reading on my Kindle.

So I have no friggin idea what I'm actually reading.

Honest.
It's a huge issue with me.
There is no book cover to see, no author's name to read. Just the last bookmarked page to automatically open to.

I'll finish a book without knowing the name or author.

True Evil. Greg Iles.

I read all the Demon Cycle books by Peter V Brett. The final book, infuriatingly, is still being written.

I am now onto Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy. Quite interesting so far.

About seven books at once, and all over the map-Christian devotionals, zen and yoga guides, finance, personal development, shop manual for the bike.....

And yes, I've read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" twice, and the sequel once. It's even trippier
