my mum was telling me for years to read it every time i moaned that 'i've got nothing to read!', but i got a really funny picture in my head of some monster (a 'hobbit') sitting on a hole which some other people were trying to stuff a ring down. so i didnt read it. then i saw the film trailer in july 2002, and by september i'd read the hobbit and all three books! so i'm kind of ashamed that the film did really inspire me to read the books
