I like Tolkien as well as several other fantasy writers, but that's not what I like to read the most by far.
I didn't think much of Harry Potter and my kids won't be reading it anytime real soon, but my mom likes it for some reason.

When I was 7 and 8, my mother would read me the "Golden Stallion" books -- not as well known as the Black Stallion series, but I liked 'em.
Later, in junior high English class, I used to piss everyone off by getting perfect scores on the tests. I couldn't understand why everyone else had such a hard time with it. Whenever I was asked what proper usage was on a test, I'd just say it in my head and whatever sounded right was my answer. I suspect having corrent English narrated into my young brain by my darling mither had a lot to do with it.
