I once, also, had posters. I had both Pauline Bayne's maps; I also had the map bordered by the Ballantine Tryptych-- remember those flying black horses? and the pink eggplant thingys hanging off of...

I thihnnk I'll agree with Ibrīnišilpathānezel (gesundheit) on this one. Legolas isn't in personal danger, and he's having a hard time realizing that the rest of them are, and having an even harder...

We do know that Aragorn went there. That's where he and Arwen formally 'plighted their troth": at Cerin Amroth. That's another entire discussion, isn't it? Aragorn grew up in Rivendell; visited...

Oh, where is Littlemanpoet when I need him. I think Tom does just as much preserving and protecting, without a ring, as Elrond and Galadriel do with a ring. Very much Faerie, very changeless. And...

Gandalf discussed this, didn't he? I mean, Frodo's cousins' usefulness in the end. Wasn't he talking to Aragorn (if I remember correctly) when he said that Pippin's foolishness in looking into the...

Child,

Can I ask you for a bibliography of sorts?

Mith, your statement that Pauline Baynes illustrated your childhood rang very true with me.

NImrodel sat up, and looked at Gwyll.

"...games?" she said. "Hello, little one. What kind of games?" She wiped the ash out of her hair, a little. "I like games." And she stood.

One stands out for me.

The Battle of the Pelennor Fields: because I read it over, and over, and over again, when I was an Eomer addict. It is still an outrageously fine chapter.
