The Tolkien Middle Age Club

[Gothmog]

Hello people! Here's an other member that qualifies for the Middle Age Club!

I'm now 21, but how old I was when first introduced to the Tolkien world I can't remember. Like so many others, I started off with Bilbo. But I can't say that I was thrilled. It was an interesting story, sure, but it wasn't until I read LotR that I was caught by the magic of the professor. I'd guess that I was something like 12 years old when I read Bilbo and LotR followed soon after.

I rememer lying in the couch, reading and having Enya playing in the background... I read whole days and could hardly put the book down to eat. I tried reading the books in English when I was done in Swedish, and got through them all even if I can't have understood everything. I even made an attempt to read The Silmarillion in English, but gave up. I was to young then, but now I read mostly in English.

Since then I've read Silmarillion, UT and BoLT, but haven't tried HoME yet. "Roverandom", what is that? And how can I not know what it is?

What can I more say? Rune can take it easy, I'm not close to getting married either Even if my girlfriend says that she's going to marry me sometime...

Belonging to a club now, right? Yipee!
