The First LOTR Fans - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

zxcvbn · 02-19-2008, 11:05 AM

I'm a fairly recent convert to the Tolkien fandom. In my childhood I'd hardly read novels; mostly comic books. Then I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban(borrowed from a friend) and that introduced me to the wonderful world of fantasy literature. Then I asked Mom to buy more Harry Potter books. One day she bought LOTR instead(not knowing what to buy) and I got ****ed since it was so long and tedious(I thought). Later I took the time to read throught it...and we were inseparable throughout the year. I then read the Hobbit ,the Silmarillion and other books. Now I have trouble pulling myself out of Middle-earth to focus on real world issues, like my studies...
