I read the Hobbit when I was about 6 (i'm 19 now), but I didn't read any of the lord of the rings books til last year when i first saw the fellowship on video. Then i bought all three of the lotr books in october and read them in about a week, then went back to the beginning and read them again. I got totally hooked and must have read them about 5 times since i bought them. I just bought the silmarillion but i'm finding it a bit hard to get into.
