My husband and sons, friends, reading - {Tolkien, David & Leigh Eddings, Katherine Kurtzs' Deryni Series, Anne McCafferey and Robert Jordan} :) - music {Pink Floyd, Pete Murray, The Corrs, Powderfinger, Jet, Little Birdie, Mark Knopfler, U2, Silverchair, Eskimo Joe, Cold Chisel, Coldplay}, cooking and bushwalking
First Lord of the Rings reading experience:
At the age of 8 and been hooked ever since :D
Favorite Tolkien character:
Glorfindel because he rode into the story on a white horse, I was only 8 at the time and I REALLY wanted a white horse of my own. And of course a cute elf-guy to go with it wouldn't have hurt ;)
