I've only been reading LotR for a few years. I'm on my sixth time through.

Imladris, I, too, watched the animated version of The Hobbit and was throroughly freaked out. I'd read LotR about twice at that time and The Hobbit once, so I was informed.... My family, however, hadn't read the Hobbit, and were thoroughly confused. (Not having seen any of Peter Jackson's wondrous films yet, though I think it was late '02.)
