So what kind of fan were you?

[Sapphire_Flame]

Good heavens, I must be really tired; I cannot, for the life of me, figure out which group I'm in. -,-;;; Can someone give me a hand?

~I was born after Silm came out (nearly ten years after).

~I read The Hobbit when I was about six or seven; immediately thereafter, I wanted to learn more about Middle-earth and its inhabitants.

~Around age 8, I saw the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit, and the Bakshi LotR.

~Attempted to read LotR around the same time; failed miserably.

~Started to read LotR in October of 2001; was little, if at all, influenced by the upcoming movie.

~Saw the movie on December 21, 2001; was dumbed with astonishment and amazement which bordered on stupification.

~Restarted LotR, reading the entire book through in three weeks.

~Started into The Silm in November 2002.

~To date, have read The Hobbit 35-40 times, LotR 10 times, Silmarillion twice, Unfinished Tales once, and The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien once. Am currently hunting down the HoME series.

Help? Please? ^^;;;
