Me and my mom read the hobbit when I was younger. My mom was always the smart one, and we had our little moments. The movies came out when I was fairly young, 10 maybe. I vividly remember when I first saw it, with a friend who I've since grown apart from.
I tried to get super into the books, even the silmarillion and I doubt I was really following back then, and I guess i just kept trying, cause now I love it, and have re read the books a few times now, and they are really very good, along with all the world building stuff.
Thanks for sharing your story. Yes, LotR is a great example of world building and I find the books get better with re-reads.
