I was in fourth grade I believe when I was first introduced to the Lord of the Rings. At the time, I wasn't introduced to The Hobbit or the Sil. or, well, any other books by Tolkien. I didn't find out about the rest until I was a little bit older and did some research. It was around about this time I was introduced to Harry Potter as well. I loved both series, though I do believe Tolkien's style is more top notch; not to mention he's been doing this longer than her.

But I digress, this isn't about Harry Potter.

To get back on track, I'm glad I was introduced to J.R.R. Tolkien's works; the man is simply a genius.
