The Downs now appears to have many international posters as well as the more mundane domestic variety. Where's everyone from? And if you're feeling wordy (as I always am, but I guess you know that) how did you first get into JRRT?

I'm originally from Boston, now living in Miami. I was a sci-fi fan and decided to try some fantasy. Because I didn't think I'd like it, I decided to start with what I heard was the absolute best. BTW, don't read much sci-fi anymore but I still read Tolkien.
