First Lord of the Rings reading experience:
I was in middle school(how appropriate), browsing the library for a fairy tale, when I saw The Fellowship, and the Two Towers. I got FotR, read it over a week, and came back to get the last 2, when I found that their copy of RotK had been stolen. I waited for three years to find a copy and then read the rest. On the Hobbit, I watched the animated version (when i was 5)before I read the book (around ninth grade.)
