I doubt I could read them and enjoy them today.  My window for being able
to read LoTR was basically from 6th grade through 8th grade; after that I
just couldn't get absorbed by the books anymore.  They were no longer
complex enough.

So I am a Tolkien fan, but only because I read them at the right time.
