My father read both The Hobbit and LotR aloud to me and my sister when I was six, or something like that. Then we continued with Sil and UT. I read LotR by myself when I was eight (and it took me half a year, I think...).

It would be interesting speculating who amongst us has passed the prestigious age of 100.

That must be someone who didn't take this

PS. Again - there is an option 'over 100' up there, but please, please - humour is all very well in proper places, but do not mess up the poll out of sheer playfulness. Thanks

seriously...

I prefer to think that somebody is indeed more than hundred years old - I've included option at all because it was possible to have someone that old, even if improbable. Next time I feast, I drink his/her health (even more so if s/he is unscrupulous cheat

)

edit: Just thought how wondeful it must have been to read the Hobbit as it first was published, and probably be in correspondence, or even meet with JRRT himself!
