my 6th grade teacher made me read the hobbit and i absolutely hated it. i don't know if it was because i had to chop it up in that awful school-book-dissection way, or if i was just too young for it - i have no idea. i got the fellowship of the ring on VHS for my birthday last october, and, being really bored one day, decided to put it in (i hadn't bothered to see it in theaters). needless to say, i fell fast and hard for LOTR and spent the next 3 hrs. glued to my TV. i've seen it 4 times since then, i went to see the two towers the first weekend, and i'm on chapter 11 of the fellowship (putting the hobbit behind me... :P)
