So I wonder how many of those copies have been read cover to cover .
I've read it a couple times, but I admit it wasn't the hit over the long haul that LotR and the Hobbit have been. It's hard to say how many of those copies that sold that first year were read all the way through. It might well be that those that bought it early were the most dedicated LotR fans, and thus were more likely to actually read it, but it is hard to say.
