I didn't have much of a propensity for reading in my younger days as I was busy with other things like sports and video games. When I was about 21 and just returned from Brazil my Dad recommended that I read LotR's and I did so. Comically I didn't at first realize that it was a trilogy and when the fellowship was leaving Lothlorien I kept wondering how they were going to quickly destroy the ring because there are only 50 or so pages to do it

. I have since read them about yearly along with the Silm, The Hobbit is read every few years.
