...and looking back, to age 12 when I read LOTR, I remember that I thought Faramir was ... ....ooo, wonderful. Then (on a second reading) Aragorn was just wow. After that, Eomer ruled (love that battle-cry at Pelennor.) Finally, because he loved his city and gave his life for Merry and Pippin, I settled on Boromir, and that lasted for several readings and several years (*cough*). And I won't tell you what I had embroidered on MY bluejeans in Tengwar.

Thirty some-odd years later, I make my forays into the Books forum, and so far no one has thrown me out. So I can assure you all that there is hope both for the Legolas-addict and the Elijah-addict.

And who says the movie hobbits can't be considered cute by the sophisticated?
