This is not of much importance, but English, SpM, is also considered the primary language here in the Philippines along with, of course, Filipino.

I have observed a sudden upswing of the popularity of LotR among the people around me, and that started when, I'm sorry to say, the movies were released. (Hey, I first became aware of LotR through the movies, too!) But incidentally, some of these people I know who claim to like the books haven't even read them yet! So would I be wrong to assume that they liked the movies, and then liked the books from which the films were based? (Poor people...)
