Well lets see... I first read the book after seeing a stage peformance of the Hobbit in Birmingham, it was very good and was my first introduction to the world of tolkien. As soon as I got home I got my Mothers very old edition of LoTR out and began reading it, I had a lot of trouble but I still read the book (all 6 in one edition) in around two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it (even if I found myself lost in details by the end and very confused). I then proceded to read it many more times and maybe a year later discovered that they had just began producing LoTR the film (around 1998).
