Reading LOTR aloud

Here is an interesting article about reading the trilogy out loud. It took the author a year to schedule in reading the trilogy to his family. Has any one else here attempted this? It seems such a daunting challenge.

I remember reading somewhere that Tolkien intended his stories to be read aloud, and hearing some of the audiobooks confirms this for me, the language is so rich and metered.

As a side note I have always wanted to read The Silmarillion aloud to an audience. I often read it aloud to myself.

EDIT: many people have read it aloud, mostly to their children or family, some to themselves. Thanks for the responses and inspiration.
