<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> But I think of those who are Tolkien fans introduced by the movies as 'not-properly-introduced' Tolkien fans. I myself fall into that category , but not through the films by PJ, but by the one by Ralph Bakshi. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Isn't that a bit unfair on those who were introduced to the books by the films, and on yourself? Would someone who discovers the books when they trip and fall in a library and have LotR stuffed under their head as a pillow be "nor properly introduced"? I don't think it matters how you are introduced (or indeed how many books you read or how many times you read them) as long as you get something from them.
