Do you actually care about Tolkien's languages?

Personally I'm a language freak, so I naturally take a great interest in Tolkien's invented languages; but what do you think about it?
Do you just think "invented languages, fine, let's continue reading", or do you think like me, "interesting, I'll do some research on this now"?

Whenever I read a sentence in Quenya or whatever, I instantly want to know more about it, what it means, etc.
Am I alone about this, or do you also find invented languages very cool?
