Phew! I'm glad you started this as I was beginning to think I'd have to start a Tolkien Gen-X Club of my own! I do qualify with the 18+ years of age, in fact I am just nearing the age where I've started to become sensitive about it! I 1st read LOTR a little more than 15 years ago when my sister participated in a high school stage version of the The Hobbit. I was instantly hooked and fell even deeper for them after reading the Sil a few years later. I let my interest slide during my busy college years and the years following, but as soon as I heard an inkling of the coming movies I was again ensnared. I have since added UT to my collection and will have Lost Tales and maybe some HoME on my Christmas list this year.
HI - don't keep us in suspense! Who is Vseslavur??? I will venture to guess, um, Legolas!
