: I'm taking a poll of my own, and I was wondering why and how long ago each of you read the THE HOBBIT and/or LORD OF THE RINGS and/or THE SILMARILLION. 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. well, i was first introduced to the Hobbit when i was about 3.. but then i was picture looking...the Michael Hauge illustrated edition was it? anyways.. i didn't really get into the meat of the stuff until a little less than a year ago.. and i cruised through HOME, Silmarillion, and other various Tolkien works. I don't know when i read LoTR.. sometime between 3 and 18 i guess.
