I had a record that my dad bought when I was little that told the story of The Hobbit, and when I was eight my dad and I read The Hobbit. When I was twelve, my dad and I started reading LOTR together. In the middle of high school I read it myself, more slowly, and I really started to get into it. I owe my Tolkien experience to my Dad.
