Amen to that!

Old amongst the firstborn - I think I read the Hobbit in about '79 - whenever it was screened on Jackanory! I had to read it to fill in the gaps.... I bought the first four volumes of HoME as they were issued in paperback and had to wait until 2002 to complete the set. Eek that date ..... not really old enough for a silver Jubilee - I was a very precocious reader ... in fact I read the Hobbit in utero...

Oh yeah, I thought #4 was pretty funny. I wonder if that guy got any food?

I wanted to try that once, but my mum wouldn't let me...

So I'm one of the Eldar? Much loftiness. Thanks for the help, Snowdog!

Abedithon le,

After a little thought, I've decided that I am a First-Born. I don't fit into any of the Edain categories, and was originally influenced to read the books by my cousins, although there might have been some movie influence now that I think about it.

I wanted to try that once, but my mum wouldn't let me...

Yes exactly. And then there's that whole legal thing that always gets in the way on these sort of things.

Someone classify me...I can't figure out where I belong!

I was introduced to The Hobbit at four, by my father, an Old-School fan. LotR followed closely. What's the category for someone whose bedtime story every night was a chapter of LotR?

We'd finished by the time I was six for sure, I don't remember exactly. I re-read The Hobbit several times through elementary school, then drifted away to other interests. The movies re-caught my attention, and now I'm addicted.

So, where do I fit?

[Morgul Queen]

Uh...help! Someone classify me, quick, before I turn into a Gollumish character!

~ I first read the hobbit at five.

~Promtly read Fellowship. Finished it. Didn't know there were more books.

~re-read the hobbit twice a year for the next7 or so years.

~heard about this film that some dude was making somewhere down the road from where I was living.

~Heard it was based on a book.

~Bought book thinking 'Yay! A Book I haven't read yet!'

~Realised I had read book.

~Realised there was more to book.

~Holed up in my room for the next few weeks reading and re-reading.

*skips two years*

~Saw Fellowship...etc

Oh, and for the comic thing, I'm Code Orange!

Morgy, methinks you're one of the First-Born, with some Movie Recruit influence. *nod nod* More power to ye, my friend.

Abedithon le,
