music, reading, LOTR, HP, Enya, Josh Groban, and Ireland.
First Lord of the Rings reading experience:
I saw the movies first, because I had never heard of LOTR before (believe it or not). but my dad took me to see FOTR, and I fell in love with it. shortly after TTT release, my dad bought the LOTR trilogy and read it to the family. since then, I read the books my self all the time. :)
Favorite Tolkien character:
Samwise the Brave, because he is a faithful friend to the very end (hey, i was a poet and didn't know it!), and brave. I also like his Hobbitish "simplicity" and optimism.
