New to Lord of the Rings

Hello everybody. I'm new to this forum and also new to the book of the Lord of the Rings. I first read the book a year ago, the movie was coming out and I decided to read it before watching the movie. I thought it was going to be just another fantasy book. I was wrong. I got completely captivated by the passion and the vast and beautiful world of Tolkien. I thought where had this book been in my whole life without me noticing it. Well, I'm from México and unfurtunately people here don't care a lot about reading, so I think that's the reason.
I also loved the movie and I'm waiting impatiently for The Two Towers which is going to be premiered in México on Dec. 19th
Now I'm reading it again in english, though slowly because I need to improve my english. I'm also reading The Silmarillion and I'm loving it too.
I have a lot of questions about the books, I hope that all of you help me clear my doubts as we talk about the greatest book of the century.
