Hello! Wow! I haven't been to The Barrow-Downs since, hmmm....January 2002 or thereabouts. It's been a long, long time. Man, I really missed hanging around with my fellow Lord of the Rings nerd pals....

I really don't think elves are made like men. They must have a different perception of time to live forever and not go crazy. They did say that the Doom of Man was a blessing, and I can probably...

Lorien is definately the least like I imagined it. As far as characters go I guess I can probably say that Elrond is the least like I imagined him. Maybe my Matrix agent Smith associations kept...

yes, that's true. I'm not dissing Radagast, cuz I think he's pretty cool, and, yes, perhaps he truly was on some mission from Yavanna (never really thought about that before. I always thought that...

Again, as I think about all the horrific possibilities I am convinced of Tolkien's genius.

"Do you hear that, Mr. Baggins. That is the sound of inevitability. The sound of your death."

k, I couldn't resist, but I was watching FotR and kept thinking of that line in the Matrix, and kept...

I do love the part in the book when Sam is contemplating his role now that Frodo (not really) is dead. I love the idea of a hobbit as simple and honest and pure hearted as Sam carrying on the quest....

I can definitly see your point, because Gandalf plays more the part of a wise old guide rather than a savoir or captain. In LotR he falls off a bridge and comes back to life, later. that's not...

I love Puddleglum! And, I think I agree that Caspian is like Legolas. He has the whole Legolas personality. I always thought he was a tad elvish. I dunno. But I think even more so he's like a...

notice how in the C. of Narnia there are four children and in LotR there are 4 hobbits! lol! I think that's just coincidence, but many times the children do remind me a lot of the hobbits on the...

I think that I'll never be able to quite go back to that time before the movie when I had to rely completely on my own imagination for the images of ME, but whenever I'm reading it now, and I find...

I love the fact that Tolkien and Lewis were friends because they're my two favorite authors. Yes, they read each other's stuff, and I'm sure that they had many influences on one another's writing. I...

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I can praise the book until your ears fall off, but I would like to quote someone that wrote a response to the book a long time ago. Now he's old,...

Gandalf let go of the bridge for the simple reason that PJ thought it would be more dramatic and more sad and heroic and stuff. With all the Fellowship watching and Boromir holding Frodo back (why...

Muse, I heard you mention that Aslan was Jesus to you in your childhood. I found it fascinating that someone else would share the same opinion that I had as a child. Aslan was my king, my friend; he...

I'm always a little grateful for vague discriptions because it forces me to use my imagination and I get to make Sauron's "fair form" look however I want. There are other times though that I really...

I think that one of the obvious reasons that Christians relate so well to LotR, and why it's so special to them is that Tolkien was a Christian himself. I can relate directly to the author. I'm not...
