Book Fans vs. Movie Fans - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My oldest brother read the books 6 years ago or so, and loved them so much, he tried to get me to read them, though I was only about 7 or 8. I didn't like reading big books then, so I obviously didn't read them. Then, when he found out they were making movies on them, he told me how much fighting and killing there would be, so I told him I would never watch them. But my interest in Tolkien eventually grew, that I agreed to go see The Fellowship of the Ring when it came out. <BR>I absolutely LOVED the movie! I decided right after I finished watching the movie, that I would read the books. So I guess you could say, my brother introduced me to Tolkien, but never took interest until I saw the movie. What does that make me?
