Thus far, only Pio has me beat. Thirty years (1972). I was 11 years old and had been devouring science fiction. I decided to try fantasy but doubted I would like it so I chose to begin with a "classic". I borrowed a copy of the Hobbit from school. Liked it but was unaware that there was a sequel for a while. I had just finished re-reading it about a year later when I came upon Tolkien's obituary in the newspaper.
