ah, we are not bright young things, we are sober grown-up ones. Bright ones can be found in Tolkien Under Age Club

All things are relative... I definitely wouldn't make the cut for that one .. I will just have to console myself with being the "baby"/ juvenile delinquent of the pipe and slippers brigade - though I don't smoke and my slippers are of the fluffy panda variety... so until you reach years of discretion Namarie ..... maybe I should start a person of a certain age club...

you mean...there are others?
I think this is the place for me.
I read The Hobbit and the LotR as a kid, then rediscovered Tolkien in college. However, I have to admit that my interest didn't extend to his other works until it was piqued again by a certain recent movie trilogy.... Before that, I was content with my once-a-year summer rereading of LotR. It's nice to find others here of about my age--I was feeling rather alone amidst the young 'uns and the sage professorial types.

Welcome, tar-ancalime
Have a seat by the fire. Backgammon? Pool? Soft drinks?

It's a shame to see the best of the "Age" clubs molding at the bottom of the heap while the old people have so much fun on page 1 of the forum!
 I'm actually here to celebrate the 14th anniversary of my reading of the Hobbit. As I posted what seems like an age ago on this thread, I first read aloud with my mother when I was 8. I'm now 22 and I still think reading Tolkien aloud is a fabulous way to pass grey winter afternoons. Sophia

I had to introduce myself to LOtR about 7 years ago. I've read it an average of almost 11 times a year since then. I'm 22. I started with the Hobbit when I was 13. So I started reading them rather late compared to some.
My family is of the serious type, the people who are forever stuck in the real world. My mom read LOtR once upon a time, but she didn't really like it. So thus, she didn't introduce it to me, especially since I already lived in a fantasy world. |
