My father read The Hobbit to me when I was very small. It was an illustrated version using art from the old Rankin-Bass animated film. I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy when I was about 12. And today as a librarian, one of my regular Dungeons & Dragons players is even more of a Tolkien fan than I am.
I have been playing the Elder Scrolls games since Morrowind, and yes, I have played Oblivion. I couldn't beat the main story there because my computer couldn't handle the end-game chaos, alas.
