I agree with what someone said earlier-- many of my mental images have been overridden by movie images. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as I think they did a great job, but I wish I had gotten into LotR earlier, just so I could have compared!
Oh well, it leaves me plenty of time to dream about everything not in the movies! My favorite location (that's put in the movie) is Lothlórien. But I am also enchanted by Númenor, definitely Gondolin (as Bombadil said), and recently having read Book I again, the Barrow-downs.
