She was finishing the Lord of the Rings for the first time as I was reading The Hobbit. She always said it was a shame she didn't discover reading until she was that age. I thank her for introducing me to it early. ;)
Also, I think I'll make sure my kids read The Fionovar Tapestry by GGK. Maybe get them started into the dark fantasy stuff early. :P

GGK is outstanding. How early is early?
