Although founded in 2002, the very first Tolkien Reading Day wasn’t until March 25th 2003. It is because a journalist from New You are able to enquired whether or otherwise there is this kind of event for Tolkien in The month of january 2002 and also the society loved the concept a lot they adopted it – even though they didn’t have enough time to organize anything for your year and postponed it.The society chose an essential date in the book for that reading through day. March 25th may be the Downfall of Sauron.Recently The Tolkien Society have given information packs, bookmarks and posters for schools getting involved in the wedding. They also have provided free posters for occasions held by libraries and everyone happening near the event, instead of around the 25th.Using the recognition from the The almighty from the Rings film triliogy firmly impacting on the recognition from the books, Tolkien Reading Day was setup with about getting much more people reading through and finding that there's a lot more to Tolkien than simply The The almighty From the Rings.Typical occasions contain blood pressure measurements and discussions, however, many groups re-enact moments in the The almighty from the Rings books.

I have been reading books by Tolkien since I was a child. Although I don’t know the exact year, I still remember the first time I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. This was a turning point in my life, although I did not realize it back then. From day one I wanted to own a personal copy of The Lord of the Rings, just to be able to re-read it whenever I wished. Soon I got a well-read copy of The Hobbit and a short while later I received The Lord of the Rings. Now I am one of the bigger Tolkien collectors in the world, and am still reading Tolkien. Especially the Hobbit which i'm now reading aloud for my children!

What did you read when you were young?

I don't know exactly how old I was, but in grade school I read all of the "Little House" books. I read them one after the other, and for a long time went around composing my life story in my head. After a while I gave up on that, because my life wasn't nearly as interesting as Laura Ingalls Wilder's was!

I also loved White Fang and Call of the Wild. Anne of Green Gables was a particular favorite of mine, being a redhead myself. I read all of the books about Anne as well as many of the others by L.M. Montgomery. There was also a series called Sweet Valley High, about high school twins with opposite personalities. I'd walk to the bookstore and buy a couple at a time, read them in one or two days, and go back for more. The lady who worked at the bookstore was always amazed at how quickly I went through them. I must have been in fifth grade, and while the books were pretty tame, I remember one scene in one book where one of the girls was making out with a boy, he took her bra off--I was so scandalized! Others I loved were The Secret Garden, Black Beauty, and The Black Stallion. After I read The Black Stallion I put a want ad in the paper for a black horse, and didn't tell my parents. We got a couple of phone calls from people wanting to sell their horses, and my parents weren't too happy with me. At the time, we lived in a suburban type neighborhood and never could have kept a horse! There were other books I remember, but don't know the titles. One about a lost doberman, one about the dog who played little orphan Annie's dog in the movie, one about a girl who could "leave" her body and travel around...I don't know why, but they made enough of an impression on me that I still remember reading them.

In junior high, I got heavily into Stephen King, and yes, I think he warped my mind forever. My high school writing teacher once told me I had a "flair for the macabre." I was so proud, all thanks to Mr. King. I also "borrowed" some romance novels from my mom, which were so badly written but fascinating at the same time. ;) I read Gone with the Wind in seventh grade, and loved it, but I think I appreciated it more when I re-read it a few years later.

I was a shy kid, didn't have many friends until junior high, and spent a lot of time reading. The books I loved, I read many times, and even still have my old copies of them. If I had to say how they've influenced me today, I'd say I have a great appreciation for books that are well written, and I've never struggled with the language of classics or Shakespeare. I have very little patience for books that aren't written well and spend a lot of time reading with my kids. Whenever people ask for gift suggestions for me, a gift card to Amazon is at the top of the list. When people ask me if my kids have too many books, I say there is no such thing! I guess having access to whatever reading material I wanted as a kid gave me an appreciation for good books and a desire to pass that appreciation on to my kids.
