I managed to 'convert' my older brother last year just before he moved out to college. I also got one friend from Tae Kwon Do to actually read The Hobbit. I got one friend from soccer to read everything from The Hobbit-LotR-The Silmarillion. I'm working on my dad and his friend Rob now. I might try to get my sister to read one of the books, but she's not really into reading, and we had to leave FotR early one time because the Nazgul scared her (9).

My teachers were already Tolkien Fanatics, and all the students except me and a few others think their Tolkien book 'mini-library' is crazy stuff. Ah well. Can't get everyone to read them.
