I had read The Hobbit in elementary school (which has been a long time ago for me!) but never read The Lord of the Rings. As a matter of fact, I was an avid reader while I was in school, read everything I could get my hands on, but I had rarely heard anything about these books as a child/teen/young adult (I have no idea why).

It wasn't until I went to see 'The Fellowship' in theatres that made me run to the bookstore and buy the trilogy to read. I could NOT believe I had not read it before!
