My stepdad was always bugging me to read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings when I was a kid so of course I didn't. Then I started my teen years and it seemed more appealing. I had begun to get more interested in fantasy and then I remembered the Lord of the Rings. I started reading and never looked back! I read the trilogy and the hobbit and I am now starting the book of lost tales part one and then I have the Simarillion to get started on! When I found out that a movie was coming out about these incredible books, I was stoked and hoped that it would capture some of the grand scope of Tolkien's writing. On the whole the movies are good, esp. FOTR but trust me, the book is SO much better. Always read the book first.
