I believe I read the Hobbit (and Lord of the Rings right after it) at about 10 or 11. It is hard for me to nail down since the summers back then tend to run together in my memory. I read Silmarillion when it first came out here. I was high school age I think. In between I read what other of Tolkien's works I could get my hand on, but I still haven't finished them all.
