Who is the "Tolkien Master" in your house?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

There's a steady regress in my family:

- I am the enthusiast.

- My younger brother likes the books and is very critical of the films.

- My mother read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and liked them but thinks that it's all just good entertainment and nothing worth being remotely serious over.

- My father criticises everything about Tolkien in a crude and highly ridiculous manner, despite not having read any of the books.

So we're very well-balanced!
