Like World of Starcraft?
On a more serious note, I have a friend exactly like that, too. He had never really played any video games seriously (dabbled a bit in a few, but never addicted to anything) and certainly never read fantasy books or cared much for Tolkein-esque games.
After watching me and my former roommate play WoW for a month, he asked to create a character on one of our accounts, got addicted, levelled the char to mid 30's (at which point we started getting annoyed that my roommate could not play while he was on his account) and then he went out and bought his own copy.
I bet there are millions of such stories.
WoW was great for the genre. Period.
