When my brother and I were little, my mom read the Hobbit to us in bed every night. It took a couple of weeks to get through the whole book (we had short attention spans), but it was worth it. We loved it. Right after that, Mom attempted to read Fellowship, but we only got to "Strider." Le sigh. So it was several years later that I read Fellowship after that--shortly before the movie came out--and I finished TT and RotK not too long after. I've been totally hooked ever since!
