We all came to love the trilogy in different ways. For some people it was by reading the books.
Unfortunetly (?) I was just one out of many that didn't know that the books existed until I saw the movie.
This came about totally by accident. My first glimpse of LotR was in 2001 when I worked at a movie theater. During my break I was looking to find a good movie to watch for the measly 30 minutes that I had, but all of the ones that I wanted to see were either ending or not showing at all. So I remember looking up at theater 9 which read: "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and being kind of confused. "What the heck could that possibly be about?" I remember thinking. "A ring? How exciting could a ring possibly be!" So I walked inside, watched part of it, and I haven't regretted my decision since.
I have told many, many people how horrible my job at the movies was, but now that I think about it, if it wasn't for my job I may never have had the opportunity to see the movie at all.
Talk about odd, but I'm sure that everyone else's are more weird than that.

I have gotten over 12 people hooked on the movies...now I'm just working on my roommate at college. She looks to be an easy one to crack. She's already an Orlando Bloom fan... ;D
