How were you introduced to Tolkien? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was first introduced to Tolkein with a TV trailer, I spoke casually of seeing it with my father, a good freind of mine who at the time was 78, recomended to me that I see the movie before I read the books. Seeing as he had always pictured hobbits as fat a green I decided to take his advise. (We never figured out where green came from) One day as I came in the door from school my dad askd me if I was interested in seeing a movie. I agreed. Since then I have read the books three times been all over the many sites, have claimed Melko as my favorite character and gotten my sisters and cousin interested. The friend also watched the movie with me and found it quite accurate. (Even without Tom.) -Wolf Larson
