my first encounter

I read The Hobbit in my own language, catalan, when I was 11 or 12 years old, in the 1980´s. It took me a whole year, because I lost (yes, I mean really lost) the book and I could not finish it since I found it again. I read The Lord of the Rings six or seven years ago, first in catalan and then in spanish (the translation is better). And two years ago, at last, I dared to read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in english and it was one of the greatest experiencies I ever have had!

Far over the misty mountains cold,...Més enllà de les boiroses i fredes muntanyes,
vers coves velles i fondes masmorres,
ens cal partir abans de l´alba,
per rescatar de l´oblit el nostre or.
