w00t! Five hundredth post!
Heren, you need another category!
 I cast my vote as "Watched the movies", because my dad heard about the movies, and decided to read the books to us as a consequence. So, I discovered Tolkien because of the movies, but for me, the books came first. I suppose I might have chosen "Been read his work by a parent", but I decided the movies deserved some credit.
