Actually first came The Hobbit when I was about 9 or 10 since I was home sick a few days and very down so my mom started reading it to me and I was so hooked by the end of the first few chapters and flew through the rest on my own once I was better. I was ecstatic when my mom informed me there were three more books by this incredible author and I plunged into them shortly thereafter and have loved them ever since, and the fantasy gendre in general.

I am amazed Solarum that you were able to read through them at age 6! I always read stuff above my reading level but Tolkien at 6 would never have worked for me!:)
