How were you introduced to Tolkien? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, for me it all started when I was 6. My family was going to take a long car trip and got The Hobbit on casette tape to listen to on the way. I fell in love with Middle Earth instantly after listening to it. Later, I got LOTR on cassette and thought it was even better. I remember wondering if it would ever become a movie. Everybody kept saying, "No way".
Then Peter Jackson came along. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

BTW has anybody else listened to The Mind's Eye audiotapes of LOTR or The Hobbit? They were quite well done IMO.
