Well, I first read the Fellowship in December 2001, when it came out as a movie. My mom'd told me that the books were very good, and I'd decided to read the books (or at least the first one) before seeing the movie. That's a policy of mine, and I suggest everyone use it. The books are always better than the movies, and the books lose their initial magic if you've seen the movie. You end up with the director's first impression instead of your own.

But, anyway, I suppose Peter Jackson introduced me to Tolkein. ;D
