I never really got into Tolkien until two years ago, even though my dad was into it when he was younger and my sister had done her English ISU on FotR. But I was working at a theater at the time, and I saw a teaser trailer for FotR almost a year before the movie came out, so I basically devoured the Hobbit and the LotR trilogy in under a month. I was 15 then, I'm 17 now. Since then I've read my dad's 1975 copy of the Silm., UT, and i've read the non-etmymology portion of the Lost Road (HoME), as well as the Lays of Beleriand (HoME). needless to say, I've been hooked since then.
