About Tolkein...
The first time I read Tolkein was in the 5th grade.  I only
read "The Hobbit" then, but even that was pretty hard going
for a 5th grader (I had a he&& of a time trying to pronounce
some of those names...).  I never got around to reading the
trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" until Junior High, and I fell
in love with the whole set.  I have re-read them many a time,
and each time I discover something I missed during the previous
reading.  I also have read "The Silmarillion" and "The Tolkein
Reader", and, thouroughly enjoyed them.  His style of writing
is very descriptive, and I lose myself in Middle-Earth every
time I read them.  (It's time for a replacement for my books...
they are falling apart from all the reading and re-reading).
