LotR. Totally. "Ooh, it has a picture of Orlando Bloom on the back.... Wow, it's actually an amazing book!... Holy crap, I'm in love! And not with Orlando Bloom" The rest is history.

A really old edition of LOTR with the worst drawings I ever saw and pages that departed the book as I read it. It was brilliant !

The Hobbit, after being interested in the upcoming movies.
Walmart had Ballantine paperbacks with neat illustrations by Ted Nasmith for $6.99 each. I bought The Hobbit and LOTR and started there.

My father read the hobbit to me when I was little. I never lost the fascination.
