Perhaps it's a shared quality that we all have, Lalaith... we've all got dad's who can't sit still long enough to watch the movies or read the books.
Mine is that way... I told him I'd read Dune when he read the LotR.
Of my family... I quite honestly think it's a toss up between myself and my brother. Keeper's got it down for the Letters and HoME, but I've got it for the Silm and for the LotR. We help each other fine tune our ideas and then come here and argue with you wonderful people. It's quite fun. My eldest brother read the books, but thinks we're insane. My mom thinks that my time could be better put to use doing laundry. My dad... like I said... not interested. Although he did watch the movies. He refers to the Witch King as the "Headless Horseman".
