In eighth grade, when I was 13, my teacher had the books. Unfortunately, the first one was snatched up by my friend so I had to start with Book One of Two Towers. Of course, I had no idea whatsoever about anything that was going on, so I set it aside. Then I found a box set in my basement and got to work on the Fellowship.
