Elijah Wood has revealed that he still hasn't finished reading the Lord of the Rings books all these years later. 'I still haven’t read it, 20 years later. It's ridiculous that I haven’t. It is my cross to bear. It's so dumb. Everybody else has read it.'
Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood still hasn't fully read the J.R.R. Tolkien novels the trilogy was based on. Lord of the Rings follows the quest of a group of intrepid volunteers from different races and creeds in the fantasy world of Middle-Earth on their quest to protect hobbit Frodo Baggins as he takes the One Ring to the evil land of Mordor to destroy it by throwing it into the fires of Mount Doom.
The book is dense and verbose and incredible and literary and beautiful, but heavy. I found it taxing to read the book with all the work in tandem I was doing on my character. I sort of pivoted my focus to just live in the world of the character as written in the scripts and trust the process.
