Hi, everybody! I'm a ringer,too. I guess that was kind of obvious. My mom and brother both love the movies, but neither heve read the books. My brother has read the hobbit and got about halfway through FOTR before he got sick of it. My mom read the hobbit many years ago in her youth, but after I became addicted, she read it again. She still doesn't know a lot of what I consider to be really basic stuff, though. BTW, I became converted after seeing FOTR when I got the DVD for xmas. I don't really have any close friends at school, let alone any who like LOTR. My school has a serious geek-shortage. Oh, well. Occasionally, I run into someone who claims to be a fan & ask who their fav. character is. Almost invariably, the answer is 'that hot elf guy' [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] oh, gosh, if they at least knew his name! Anyway, yeah, that's my story. sorry it was so long.
