Seems like I am one of the "oldies" in this thread.... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
My first CONTACT with Tolkien was when I was 3-4 years old and saw the animated film. I saw it a few times and then one day saw LOTR in the library, and decided to read it.
I first read it about 8 years ago (so the coming of age club has to wait about 10 years for me.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]), and I was 9 at the time. I was hooked immediately. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Am reading it for my 8th time now (am in the very end.) Last year I read The Hobbit (read it 2 times) for the first time, and the Silmarillion (2 times), along with the Book of Lost Tales 1&2 (once).
I am also on my way to read Morgoth´s Ring, and am currently hunting every book in HoME.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

There, anything else you wanna know? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
