I'll join the Lush party. <P>I've read LotR aloud to my two sisters (ages 8 and 10) twice. Surprisingly enough, they get it, they love it, they are obsessed. The eight-year old mourned movie Faramir's destruction with me and insisted that I carve her Elven name on a stick that she calls her staff. The ten-year old writes LotR fan fiction. Obviously I've done well with them.
