Public Research: First read - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Part of Public Research Project. The main question being: what language you've read Tolkien in first? Was it English or your mothertongue or some other tranlation that hooked you in? Did you come to learn English because of Tolkien? etc...

edit: Of course, if English is your mothertongue, you put it down to English. The other two options by definition mean 'if other than English' (as I suppose cases for native English speakers of reading Tolkien in, say, Japanese would be rare) /end of edit.

This poll is public
