I finished reading The Hobbit and loved it so much that I read LotR (and eventually mostly all of Tolkien's books) And a couple of months after I finished them, I found out that the book was being made into a movie, so that was really cool! But to me, a Tolkien fan is a Tolkien fan. It doesn't matter how many years, months, weeks, etc. since you liked Tolkien's books, the only thing that matters is how much of a fan you are of it. But although, those who have read them before the movies were even out, or even thought of, probably are more proud that they discovered him before. And that'd be nice if people were more into Tolkien before the movies, because some (not a lot) but some people I know only became interested in Tolkien because of the movie (which is not bad) but mostly for the reason because they think that Legolas was hot.... Oh well, better that people read the books than not! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
