Before we were married (and I suppose after), my wife and I shared a love of LoTR. At the time, we were doing a fair amount of driving on the weekends to see family and friends. Rather than buy an audiobook, we decided it would be a good idea for whichever one of us was the passenger to read it out loud. In retrospect, that was a mistake. :) We didn't get into any accidents but we had to stop... Tolkien's style of writing is just perfect for putting you asleep when you're not well rested and already somewhat bored by the drive itself.
