The first time I got my hands on The Lord of the Rings I read it once in just a couple of days (very little sleep), then immediately read it through once again. Then I had to return it to the library.
Since then, I got my own copy (actually I think I have three now), and read it again a few times. For the last 20 years I've kind of settled to reading it once every summer, slowly, enjoying it.
