I read it once, sometime in the '60s. When we were in college a high 
school friend and I wound up working summers for the state education 
department. One of the tasks was providing labor for the professional 
exams that were held in New York City. Richard had found the first two 
paperbacks in a drugstore paperback rack but couldn't find the third. He 
and I hit the bookstores in the city looking for the third. That was '64 
or '65 and it may have been the unauthorized Ace edition. Ace published 
cheap sci-fi paperbacks that would be typically found in revolving racks 
in drugstores. Anyway it was definitely before the books really took off. 
I enjoyed LOTR but took a shot at 'The Silmarillion' and gave up. Fantasy 
isn't my preferred genre.

I read a lot, mostly on Kindle these days. That's handy since I can look 
on my Amazon account to see what I've read. It is amusing that with a 
fairly extensive history the suggestions Amazon turns up for my next book 
are often off the wall.
