How old were you the first time you read LOTR? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I read the books ("LotR") a few months before my 13th birthday, after "FotR" came out in theaters. I read the books after my sister recommemded them. I admit, I skiped some parts, but finally got around to re-reading them. I found out how much more enjoyable they were after that. I read "The Hobbit" last year. It all kind of depends on reading level, but 9 or 10 seems like a resonable age for reading "The Hobbit" and 11 or 13 for "LotR".
