The thing about having a child start a book just to find out that he/she doesn't like it and then put it down, never to pick it up again is a bit pessimistic, I think. If the parent considers his/her...

Yes, but as Tar Elenion said, *Morgoth* - Melkor's physical form at Arda - was killed. Melkor was expelled, cast into the Void, to wait there until the day when all creatures, mortals and immortals,...

I can't do anything but agree with most of you. Tolien was not a sexist.

As for the numberof Balrogs, that issue will probably never be settled. Another thread somewhere here 'sort of ended up with kinda agreeing on seven' (get the point..?). However, hosts of lesser...

I think Aragorn would have been most capable of killing Frodo. Aragorn (son of Arathorn and all that pompous *** stuff) only knew Frodo as a courier; Frodo had not yet become an official ringbearer,...

ANY character, from ANY JRRT book?

Ilúvatar .
(Does this one need any explanation?)

I don't think Sauron would have needed the Ring to make Smaug fight the free peoples. A slap on the bottom and a 'there are riches beyond your imagining' would probably have set him off.

I think it's the same with good books as with good music; the first time is either overwhelmingly fantastic, or too much. Then, the more you read (or listen) the more you find out about the work, and...

Can you destroy another person? Can you destroy anything? Killing is one thing, but destroying is another.

'The Little House of Lost Play' (Mar Vanwa Tyaliéva) from BoLT is my all-time favourite.

Yes, but even before that event, Aman was denied from anyone whom the Valar did not want to have there (anyone not elvish).
