I'm proud to say I first read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings at the age of 9!
Not that I understood LOTR, my dad just gave me the Hobbit and I saw "If you are interested in hobbits you'll learn more in the Lord of the Rings..." and I thought I might as well, read it, and by the time I picked it up again I had forgotten basically all of it. But still, go me.
Soon I'll finish The Silmarillion...
