I can't really read any of the replies or even the original post. (spoilers)
I love Lord of the Rings / Hobbit however I've never seen any of the movies, and I'm only about 2/3 of the way through the Fellowship of the Ring (Book 2)
It's amazing how I am so obsessed with it currently even though I don't know the Lord of the Rings in it's entirety. I have to be careful though when searching LOTR so I don't come across any spoilers ^^
The Hobbit though might just be the best book I've ever read. (I haven't read a great deal of books to be honest.)
Actually one of my favourite moments in The Hobbit book was the introduction of Hobbits and Bilbo Baggins. The way Tolkien opened the story, his heart-warming description of hobbits and insight into Bilbo's nature made me fall in love with Hobbits instantly. I think Tolkien might have been born on some magical planet or something. To think up an entire world, it's history, legends, stories, races just for a series of books astounds me..
Sorry I am going on a bit. I have so much love for it

No need to be sorry! When you're done with the trilogy, look into the Simarillion and the other books concerning Middle Earth that Tolkien has written. You won't be disappointed!
Oh yes, I was definitely planning on doing that
