It took me six months to get through Lord of the Rings, and that was without any major pauses in reading. The somewhat antiquated writing was kind of hard to read and often had to go over a paragraph a few times to figure out what was going on.
I did laugh at the part where somebody blows a horn until it "burst asunder," because I just got the mental image of him looking down at the broken horn, then shrugging and tossing it away.
