My dad read the Hobbit and then LotR aloud to me when I was just a wee one. And, much later, a friend and I read quite a bit of the fellowship to a silly friend of ours who refused to read it for no good reason, yet was completely fantasy-obsessed and plowed through all the billion-page Wheel of Time books and mudded them and all...so we though she needed a dose of the good stuff. We even split up the voices and stuff. It got a bit confusing--"were you Merry or Pippin?"
