: Witch book(s) did you read first:

: Why did you read it:

: What year was it or are you still reading it:

: I originally read The Hobbit about one and a half years ago, because I had seen some of Tolkien's pictures and I love art (as long it is clean, if you know what I mean) so I wanted to read the book so I could let my imagination go wild. Then after I read The Hobbit I wanted more, so I read the Lord of the Rings and I am now in the middle of The Silmarillion.
: I hope this is easier.

When I was young (don't remember exactly when), my father read The Hobbit to me as a bed-time story. When I was ten (1991), he got me the LotR and I started reading them. My best friend got me The Silmarillion for my twelfth birthday, but I was expecting something similar to LotR, so I put it down and didn't read it until I was 14 (ironically, Sil is now my favorite). I reread all five books at least once every year. More often, I read a particular chapter or two that I just feel like reading.
