Overrated movies/TV shows/books. They loved it, you hated it.

Ah, Tom Bombadil. I did miss him in the movie, but I understand why he was left out.

I couldn't tell you about any students. The discussion groups have always involved reading the books a few chapters at a time and discussing them. The classes have been one time things I was asked to do on specific occasions, not ongoing classes, like a class I've done on finding God in LotR, Narnia and Harry Potter. Those classes have tended to have people who'd read all the books, read some of the books or never read the books. (But I hope they wanted to read the books afterward.)
