The Tolkien Under Age Club

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

I am attempting to ressurect this thread not because I qualify to post to it (being over 18 years old ) but because I think it's a good idea for a thread, and I rather suspect there might be a few newer members out there who would appreciate it -- and I would love to lurk on the thread and see what they have to say.

In hopes that this will re-ignite the thread, I bring forward the initial post by Arwen Imladris

This is for all of us who are too young to post in the The Tolkien Coming of Age Club. That would be anyone who is under 18. Please tell us how long ago you first read the book(s); if you like, your age at that time and what prompted you to read Tolkien.

I first read The hobbit and LOTR when I was ~10ish. That would be about 6 years ago. Before that my parents had read it to me.
