Well, physically I'm 18, but spiritually I'm about twelve.
I discovered the joy truly when I was thirteen, when my Dad read it aloud to us. (The experience was mixed in with huge hunks of chocolate, that might have cemented my love too [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
Pre-teen girls, I would think, are attracted to LotR nowadays because of the "hunks" who travestize characters in it.
