When I was a kid (10-13???) I really liked the Sword of Shannara. After reading it again as an adult (15-ish years ago?) it no longer holds nearly the same place in my memory. I don't remember if I read it before or after I first read the LotR, but as a kid the parallels weren't nearly as important as they are to me now.
Oh well. I've heard the other books from the first trilogy hold up better (more original) but after the experience with the first one, I haven't wanted to read them again and I've never read anything beyond the first 3.
