Who is the "Tolkien Master" in your house?

[Cailín]

My dad, definitely. He's the only one in the family who read other books than LotR and the Hobbit. The Lord of the Rings movies are the only ones he actually gets (strangely, my dad also seems to have quite a short attention span).

My mother does not bother with fantasy and my brother thinks the movies are cool, but the books are a total drag. Ah well.

I'm the Tolkien Master in my famliy. I have all the extended DVD's of the films and i have Hobbit. the Silmarillion, and LOTR all on audio tape and unabridged. LOTR is 52 hours long if you listened to the whole thing in one go. I have all those audio books as actauly books as well and i have a special edition copy of the Hobbit and I have Unfinished Tales as well though I haven't read that. My friends all think im a bit of a boffin.

All my family loves Tolkien and we have a lot of intresting discussions about LOTR and we have watched the movies together many times. We have also read "Lothlorien" and "Helm's Deep" aloud on New Year's eve. But I have to say that I am the greatest Tolkien fan, or at least this is what my family says. I am the one that knows most about LOTR, although I am shortly followed by my sister. Also, I write a lot of poems that are either inspired from Tolkien's works, either are from the point of view of his characters. I read them to my family to ask their opinion, and they have liked them so far. Or at least that is what they tell me. Since I have a lot of pictures with Aragorn holding his sword on my walls, I cannot tell if they really like my poems or are just afraid I might get mad and ask dear old Anduril for some help.

[Alcarillo]

I am the Tolkien expert in my house. My mother comes in second quite a way behind me. She's read The Two Towers and The Return of the King after seeing the first movie, but that's it. My sister's read The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, and my dad hasn't read any Tolkien. I've tried to get my mother to read the Akallabêth, but she quit after a few pages, and whenever I try to start a long Tolkien-related conversation they groan and take cover.

[Turgon Philip Noldor]

Myself of course! Since I have read the all Three Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and the Silmarillion (sp?). Though there is a lot more I can know about Middle Earth, I am the "Master" of my house.

It would be me...And compared to most on this site i know nothing...novie-wise i am nearly untouchable however in the trivial pursuit game I have gone through the entire game in one turn

Me, I am the only one who has read the books. Several of my cousins started to read them, but they gave up. 1 has read The Hobbit and LotR, but that is as far as they have gotten.

My parents have only seen the movie. My dad absolutely refuses to read anything but the Reader Digest (and that is only while waiting in the drs office!)
