Who is the "Tolkien Master" in your house? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am the Tolkien expert in my house. My mother comes in second quite a way behind me. She's read The Two Towers and The Return of the King after seeing the first movie, but that's it. My sister's read The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, and my dad hasn't read any Tolkien. I've tried to get my mother to read the Akallabêth, but she quit after a few pages, and whenever I try to start a long Tolkien-related conversation they groan and take cover.
