Have you ever bought a book, started reading it and then realised you have already read it? If so, how far did you get?
Not bought, but rented. When I did The Lord of the Rings readalong in 2010, I was under the distinct impression that I had started the novel in fifth or sixth grade (around the time the movies came out), but had never finished it. To my memory, I had ditched it after the Council of Elrond. As I reread it, though, things were so familiar—and not because of the films—that I realized I must have finished or at least skimmed the novel in that juvenile attempt. It was an odd feeling to be sure. Naturally, I finished the novel; it’s The Lord of the Rings. I’ll never not finish that!
I hate when that happens lol. Here is my BTT http://bloodsweatandbooks.blogspot.com/2012/06/booking-through-thursday-12.html

My teacher read The Lord of the Rings to use when I was in elementary school. I haven’t tried to read it for myself yet.
Maybe I should. You seemed to enjoy it.
I adore it and encourage everyone to give the novel a try.
I totally get that feeling sometimes. It’s hard reading a book/watching the movie your mind twists things around sometimes. Here’s my Thursday meme’s

It’s sad when I purchase the same book multiple times..or come across one while cleaning out and say, why haven’t I read that yet and not recall I’d read it years ago. LOL

As much as I LOVE The Lord of the Rings, The Council of Elrond scene does just go on and on so I’m not surprised your younger self got bored!
