When did you first read Lord of the Rings?

First of all, welcome to the Downs!

As for your question, T. did mention that he'd thought of doing that story as a 'thriller' in one of his Letters. He didn't seem to think the idea worth fleshing out though, saying it was 'not worth doing'. My guess is that he didn't think it would have had any real meaning or depth on the level of LOTR.
