I think that's the "problem" about LotR: When you have read it a few times and are really into it, and somebody asks you about it, you can talk for hours, because there is so much that is going on parallel and there are so many things you have to explain if you want to do it properly and give a real insight.
Most of my friends couldn't accept me being a LotR-fanatic until the movie came out. Then one of my friends, who has NEVER read a book in his whole life, told me that he has started to read the FotR. I really liked that [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
