    That's my preferred strategy too. Currently building lego Rivendell, reading the Hobbit to my kid and looking for a new LotR edition to buy. (I want a modern Dutch edition with separate map, but it doesn't seem to exist.)

    Good luck. Parts of it read like the Bible. A good deal is really, really dry.
    On the other hand, you can open it anywhere and start reading. There's no real start or end. It's just too big and complex to be viewed sequentially.
