Fifteen is almost the magic number...I'm almost 15. I read Lord of the Rings first when I was eleven or twelve... My dad and I were looking through the bookstore for good books, and he said that Tolkien might be fun to read, then said I might be too young for the Lord of the Rings. Of course, I took up that comment and bought the trilogy and read it all just as the first movie came out. The Sil. was soon to follow...

But, really, it all begins when the substitute teacher is left with only a VCR and an old copy of the movie version of "The Hobbit".
