Mae govannen! Myself, I read The Hobbit for the first time when I was seven (so, nine years ago). My dad has been into Tolkien since *he* was in high school, and he read the book to me. Since then, I've been hooked. I've read The Hobbit about......40 times, at least. I tried to read LotR for the first time when I was nine, but had to give it up 'til my attention span had grown a bit more [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I actually got through Fellowship for the first time just before the movie came out (I did this on purpose, because I wanted to be prepared), and finished the Trilogy in the following month. I have now been through LotR seven times, the last time only taking me two days to finish, and am currently reading The Silmarillion. I hope to get through Unfinished Tales soon too.

Namarie!
