I read LOTR when I was about twelve, but I forgot most of the plot afterwards. Seeing the film brought back my interest in the books, so I am now the obsessed fan you see before you. ...

Well, I partly agree and partly disagree. I think that in The Two Towers when he gets huffy (for want of a better word) over his sword, he acts a bit bigheaded. But I think in general, he's just an...

Reading Tolkien's books was liberating for me, where writing is concerned. Before, I'd been restricted by the kind of language we use today, and I felt almost embarrassed to use a wide vocabulary and...

As with a few others, I'd have to say Tom Bombadil. In a way, I never really felt that he was part of the story to begin with. My theory (and this may be heresy, for all I know) is that Tolkien...

I like Orlando, only he sounds... I don't know, sort of foreign. Almost American, really. *Ponders* Maybe it's from hanging out with loads of American people.

Silmaril What is it called?

This is, I daresay, a very stupid question. But does the city in Gondor that has Minas Tirith in it have a name? Or is it just called the White City?

My brainless comment for the day:

How can it be bad? Elves get drunk!

*Coughs* I only read it after Lord of the Rings, and I didn't like it as much, but it does have more humour in it. And...

Personally, I like Ungoliant better than Morgoth or Sauron or even Saruman. They knew and acknowledged the 'good' side, and turned away from it anyway for their own gain. As for Ungoliant, it seems...

LOL, Stephanos.

As Galorme said, I think the disharmony was necessary to make the harmonious music seem even more beautiful.

Personally, I love The Silmarillion, despite the complexity and the Old-Testament style of writing. It seems... vivid, somehow. *Sigh* I know what I mean.

Yeah, I'd definitely recommend it. I read...

Typing is the best way for me, because I type very quickly. But I'll write by hand when I can't get at a computer.

Tell me... does anyone else just enjoy inventing worlds, for no particular reason...

There's a map of everything, including the Undying Lands, in A Tolkien Bestiary by David Day, and if my memory's correct then there's a sort of cross-section in The Book of Lost Tales Part 1. And...

Lucifer was God's favourite, so I expect he was the mightiest. I'm not sure, though. I still need to read Paradise Lost.
