I've never read Farmer Giles of Ham *gasp*, but I vividly recall my 4th grade teacher reading The Hobbit to our class: what a great way to inspire love of literature! And no, we didn't have to read it, he read it to us. But it led me to read The Lord of the Rings myself the next year, and started a lifetime of love of books.
