So I thought what the heck, so I checked it out and read it. That's how I became hooked on the LOTR
Haha, that sounds pretty fairy-tale like

Me, I learnt about LotR through the old Bakshi films. Then my mom bought the book when the movies came out. You can guess what happened

My story is very plain. My mom read the book when I was around 6, and I asked her what it's about, and she said she'd read it to me. I reread it myself a few years later, and again and again. Sounds pretty boring compared to some of yours!
