: I first read The Hobbit when I was about 12. I was in Grade 6 and we read a quote from the book with a whole lot of grammar errors which we had to correct. I liked the quote so much that after the class I asked my teacher where I could get a copy. She gave me her copy, I read it, loved it and have been a Tolkien addict ever since (about 17 years...I'm 29). I first read The Hobbit when I was 12, checking it out from the school library. I read the Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion during the summer of '82, when I was 13. I've reread them many times since then, and I envy people who are experiencing the books for the first time. I've read many fantasy novels since then (Feist, Weis/Hickman, and Brooks among them), but none even come close to rivalling Tolkien. His works transcend the genre. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis have long been my two favorite authors.
