I was first introduced to Tolkien when I saw a production of The Hobbit at a children’s theatre 10 years ago, when I was 8 years old. My mom had already read many of the Chronicles of Narnia to my brother and I, so I immediately took to the Hobbit, and enjoyed the performance.

Last year, I was coming back early from a trip to Germany, and was alone with 24 hours to kill in the Frankfurt airport, so I looked for a bookstore, and enquired after whether they had any books in English. I was delighted, when I saw that they had an English version of LOTR series. (I had seen FOTR in the theatres, and read other fantasy series since then, but somehow I hadn’t gotten around to reading LOTR.) I sat down in a quite spot and started reading. The hours flew by! LOTR are the best books I have ever read. Since then, I have read The Hobbit, The Silmarillion,the Letters of Tolkien, and a few days ago, started reading LOTR again.
