I also read Lord of the Rings at that age. Unfortunately, I thought “Middle Earth” meant everything was happening in the middle of the planet, i.e. at its center, so I thought all the scenes were happening in giant caves and that was how I imagined the book. When the movie came out (I mean the animated one in the '70s) I was like “why the fuck is everybody outside?”
