I'm one of those lucky people who has a college english teacher as a granma, she gave me the Hobbit at 5, pointed Fellowship out at 7, and generally started me on my Tolkien love affair. I'm currently working on getting my mum to read all the books. Being a romantic, I'm ensnaring her through the Tale of Luthien and Beren, the Lay of Leithian, and the other L/B related stuff. It's working. Never doubt the power of the children of Melian (and spouses).

Oh, and for the record, I'm 15 now [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Is it just me, or does 15 seem to be the Board average?

What do you mean, graduate to Frodo? I started *out* loving Frodo, now I'm very, *very*, Meela-type, attached to Celebrimbor, his Anadar, and...well...Celeborn. And lets not forget Elrond (I've loved him since I got the Hobbit).
