You know, I could never get into those books when I was your age, but I may try now since I've seen one of the movies and was intrigued.
Same here, once I saw the movie I was intrigued. Before the movie came out- I never heard of J.R.R. Tolkein or Lord of the Rings. When I saw the movie previews I thought it looked like the dummest movie in the world. My dad asked me to go with him to see it, I was preparing myself for the 3 hour boring-ness during the car ride to the theater. 10 minutes into the movie, I was hooked.

Now I'm obsessed.
