Maybe the age of the reader has something to do with it too. I read and enjoyed LOTR when I was 13 or 14, but they are not books I ever went back to. They seem to belong to that period in my life, and nowadays I barely remember them. Even though I generally like to reread, I have no desire to revisit them. With a few exceptions, I don't care for fantasy.
