I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the first time when I was 11, in 5th grade. I read the Silmarillion the following year, and after completing that I spent much time in other Arda-related books and maps. I learned as much as I could, but I soon found myself without anyone with which to have in depth conversations regarding Tolkien's works (at most, my friends had only read LOTR). I am now a Junior in college and have begun to find many new Tolkien fans who know a good deal more than my middle-school friends. I've joined this forum to learn and hone my knowledge once again...and, of course, to make friends . Glad to be here!
Sincerely,
Teralectus
