no. absolutely not.
me and my brother always talk of how we wish we could totally forget everthing we ever knew about Middle-Earth and Tolkien, and then rediscover the magic all over again.
oh well, i guess that
is part of the magic, according to teh Professor himself. something about "unatained vistas opeinign befor you" or somthing like that.
i hope when we get to heaven, he will have spent his time in a worthwhile fasion.
