I feel like everyone has a special memory of how they first learned about Lord of the Rings. For me it was right around when the first movie came out. I watched it non-stop with my sisters friend’s elder sister. Anytime my sister would go over to play I’d be watching. I ultimately got the books but it was a huge undertaking for my age and never actually read it for an embarrassing long time. I did memorize the dwarvish rune alphabet in the appendix of my copy. Drove my teachers nuts writing with it.

The movies came out and everyone watched them. Sometime after ROTK I purchased my first set of the books. Dunno where they ended up. I now have some old ass hardcover ones.

So weird to think back on theatrical releases being almost universally liked and positively received. God damn social media fucked us up lol
