I read before I saw.

I suppose LotR (and the Hobbit) are those 'classics' which children are encouraged to read when they're young. So, that's how it first came about [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Although by the time the films came 'round it was 5 or 6 years since I'd read the books, so I re-read them.

So, though I'm loathe to admit it, the films re-awoke the obsession, which then got me into Silm. and HoME. Just don't tell anyone.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
