How were you introduced to Tolkien?

[Ainaserkewen]

Ahh, when did I learn about tolkien? Well, I had some friends in my younger grades who read them, but they were kind of nerdy and by their discriptions, the book sounded boring. Plus, I really didn't read much back then. Then, in grade 8, my class went to see the movie. I was thrown into his world, met all the characters and the music, oh the music, just held me and hasn't let me go. After seeing it 6 times in the theater, I begged to get the books, which I read, quickly at first, but over and over, until I can recount every detail, now I search for the related books by C. Tolkein. I can't wait to read them all.
