I'm hoping they'll be more history in general in the next one as well, since TTT isn't as big of a book. The characters aren't really that well developed, they just move and move and move from here to there. You find out a good bit about personalities from dialogue but no real history. I did think the history of Middle Earth in the beginning was nice.....

Perhaps there will be more history revealed to the movie audience, but my guess is that much of that depth will be understood only by the readers of the books.

Books... I think I shall settle back with my books now and re-read all this material I have opened up for conversation, so I am prepared to talk about it. I have been good, and not reading too far ahead!
