The-Elf-Herself has just left Hobbiton.

Yes, another rare post for me(I'm mostly a lurker sort of elf [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

I was first introduced to Tolkien at age 6, when my Aunt rented The Hobbit cartoon for us to watch. I wasn't interested, never liking cartoons and besides being more of a science-fiction kid(yes at the wee age of 6 my Mom was already steeping us in Star Wars and Star Trek). Then about eight years later, four months before the Fellowship of the Ring movie premiere(and more anti-fantasy, pro-scifi than ever), my friends coaxed me into reading the trilogy. I was immediately hooked how detailed and well-written it was. Needless to say, I finished the books, saw the movie, and have now finished the Silmarillion and The Unfinished Tales. I am one year older than I was then(I'm not technically allowed to reveal my true age, but you can figure the numbers [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ). For now, Tolkien is included as one of my many interests.

P.S-I need a suggestion on what HoME book to read as I've completed reading the Unfinished Tales.
