I must admit I lived in Oxford for a year and did nothing Tolkieny - I had ground to a halt with HoME before the more approachable History of LOTR volumes emerged and I did a lit degree which meant that I had plenty of other things to read. I am not overly fond of the films but they did get me into Tolkien again. But I have been to the grave and his favourite tree and I did go and have a look at his house in Bournemouth (now demolished).
