IMO, the time and the mind must be right, Gandalf, Jr. (great name and welcome to the Downs, by the way!). And if your sister slept through a date, I DO wonder about her! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] No, I read LOTR about 13 years ago and enjoyed it, but it did not sink in very deeply at the time. Then I re-read it last year and suddenly the time was right and I was more than ready for it. If you keep it available to your sister and wait for the time when she asks you for something cool to read, then you may kindle the flame perhaps...it is hard to say. Each person is different, and some never come to an appreciation of certain fine things such as Tolkien's works!

Cheers,
Lyta
