Triumph!!!

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

I have several people that I plan to convert to our Tolkien-obsessed ways, but I don't know how to go about it. Any tips?

A rather sucessful method that I only just found out about is playing the soundtracks over and over around them. One day they will absentmindedly start to hum it and then you know it has infiltrated their subconcious. And then you can throw yourself at their feet and start begging...
Demeaning, i know, but I did get one of them to sign up here and the other to actually consider.

other than that, you can bribe them, force them through torture ("my handssss!" jk) or make them watch the movies with you. Chatting on about it nonstop sometimes works but more often than not it makes them wholeheartedly convinced never to go within 10 feet of the books. *sigh* lower life forms... so hard to work with. good luck!
