I can't decide if your score of three is the LOTR books or the movies, but good god, i hope it's the movies. The books, in my estimible opinion, can be skipped, as no one outside the Fellowship itself should have to slog through that much crap just to get to Helm's Deep.

The Harry Potter movies are somewhat amusing. I am endeavoring to read at least 3/5 of the books on airplanes over the next week, thus increasing my score.
