Last summer my dad suggested I buy the Hobbit and Lotr box set. I had no idea there was going to be a movie about them. I even was too stupid to notice on the cover of the books was printed "An Epic Motion Picture Trilogy Coming Soon From New Line Cinema". It was probably because at the time I was hooked on HP and was waiting for that movie.

I read the Hobbit first. Then Lotr. I finnished Rotk about a week before the movie. By then I was aware of the movie and was begaining my crossover from HP geek to Lotr geek.

The movie is what finnaly made me snap. I found this site a couple weeks later and I am now making my way through the Sil.
