My older brother told us all that we should read the book, so when Pop finished reading The Chronicles of Narnia out loud, we decided to read The Hobbit. But this time, since he knew the book, my brother would do the reading. So, he did.
After it was read aloud to me (and the whole family), I decided to read it myself. When I did that, I waited a little while, asked Mom if I could read the LotR, picked up the FotR and began...
You'll never guess how many times I stopped reading that book because it distressed and frightened me in so many places! But, by the time I finished the FotR and began the TT, I was quite hooked.
