Female, 38. Discovered Tolkien thanks to Ranking and Bass's The Hobbit cartoon. Began reading soon after. Was given LOTR at 11, ignored them till 13-16 yrs, adored them! Took specialty English course, FOTR, got an A in high school. Met fellah who liked to read them aloud, was hooked completely. Read Sil on my own, Unfinished tales at the library - brought tissues, people thought I was nuts...
Continuing to read...all .... gosh, it gets harder as you delve deeper! I love it though.
