I was (as most people here it seems) introduced to the books by my dad. Though, to tell the truth, I did see the movie before I read the books. Yet, the thing is, when I first saw FotR I wasn't all that impressed. I thought it was a good movie, but it wasn't what started my obsession. What started it was when my dad and I where (for some odd reason) talking about riddles. So my dad comes out with "The Hobbit" to show me some good examples. I read them and was intrigued, so, I read the chapter. I loved it and its now my favorite chapter ever. I especially liked Gollum, and wanted to read more, so I did, and it went on from there. And that is how it all started for me, I saw the movie again and it then became my favorite movie. I really do have to thank my dad for bringing it all to my attention.
