Well I suppose I'm somewhere around the Edain, but I had heard of the books and read them before I ever knew about a movie. I was introduced to the Hobbit by my fifth grade teacher in 1997 and fell in love with Tolkien's writing style and imagination. I immediatly tried to read the Lord of the Rings, but didn't like "Bilbo turning evil" and put it down. It took me until the next fall (of '98) to actually read the, all the way through. Naturally, I was hooked and read and re-read them over and over again. I was on my fourth run-through when I heard rumor of the movies. I was a freshman in high school and had already read LotR 24 times, the Sil and Unfinished Tales by December 19, 2001 when the Fellowship came out.
