How were you introduced to Tolkien? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I know I was in elementary school at the time, but I don't remember what came first: the cartoon movie of The Hobbit or Dad reading the LOTR books to me as bedtime stories. Thinking back on it now, he probably cut out some of the more fun bits of the books, thinking maybe they weren't suitable for my tender young mind. I'll have to read them for myself and check, eh?
