If we ever talk about LotR or Tolkien in class I'm asked to explain things, and I do so in a very informative way
last week I was asked to explain the Ents- that was fun!
My youngest sister won't read the books ( I read them when I was 9 and unerstood them) but loves the movies and likes the liv-tyler-arwen (yuck)
Almost everything i've written this year for english class had been about Tolkien or LotR, and I received excellent grades
speaking of which, who REALLY wished Glorfindel was in the movie? I was outraged for a very long time...
