DA
I know you're a big LOTR fan but I'm curious if you read the books and then (also) loved the movies, or if you were a movie first fan?

So, interestingly, I did read the books as a kid, but I only liked them a bit while I loved the movies. But then as an adult I read the Silmarillion and fell in love with the world. And reread the books and fell in love with them. The movies have issues for sure, and I see more and more all the time. But I'm still always happy to be in Middle Earth, even a somewhat distorted version. And while the movies do have issues, one thing they capture well is Tolkien's sense of hope. And that's what I really need right now/

I did recently reread the books as well.

Also, I should add that one of my very earliest memories is my dad reading the Hobbit to me. So Middle Earth has been part of my life since I was very young.
