Yeah the Hobbit and His Dark Materials. He might not get all of HDM but that just means he will appreciate it more when he reads it again! Also there is the BBC radio production of LOTR you could get on CD etc. I'm sure you can find it on Amazon or something.

Read them a ridiculous amount of times when I was about that age

Think I was about 9 when I moved onto The Hobbit.

Hmmm I think academically my reading level was behind the majority; I spent most of my childhood reading Asterix, Roald Dahl and Calvin & Hobbes!

That was actually rubbish and made less sense than Lord of the Rings!

Woah there, Calvin and Hobbes covers some surprisingly deep subjects!

Hobbit was the first proper book I read all the way through myself (after having it read to me at bedtime). I was 6 and I loved it. LOTR is too heavy though I think.

Generally considered the Hobbit is a childrens book with an adult sequel

I can recommend the BBC Radio dramatisation of the Hobbit and the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

Really can't recommend the books or films...
