I had read the Hobbit and Trilogy as a teenager, many years ago, but without any great understanding. Since the movies came out I read the books again and also The Simarillion, Unfinshed Tales and am half way through HoME. I am also reading the Hobbit and bits of the trilogy and Simarillion to my 5 year old to hopefully enthuse him in Tolkiens work. The movies have brought this wonderful world to many who were not reached before, a good thing in my opinion.
