At 13, I read about the books, actually in an article about a one-man-black-metal-band called Burzum. It was about a guy that shot another black-metal guy. The murder was calling himself "Grishnakh". Before I read LotR, I thought it was a satanic story (silly me!) but I was suprised positively.
Since then I can't let go of LotR and Middle-Earth.
I also think of it as something real, by now. Sometimes it helps me to escape reality (better than drugs, I guess).
