Re: Describe the 1st time you read LotR.

'Twas in high school lo those many years ago, where one was a supreme nerd for keeping one's nose in any book, let alone a Tolkien one. Middle Earth was my escape from a mundane existance, but more than that it awakened in me an interest in history (&quot;real or feigned&quot, and languages that I still have to this day. I do remember wondering when the action would start, and many of my friends had put it down after the first or second chapter, concluding that it was boring, but once past the beginning and on the road, I hardly put it down until it was finished. Then I immediately read it again.
