My trouble is that I am very very bad at sticking to any formal course of study, (which unfortunately is why I left college with my MRS. rather than my B.A. or B.S. degrees) but I'll read almost anything on my own. And Tolkien had a way of reminding me at the most boring parts of all the texts I tackled that history, philosophy, and language (among other things) aren't esoteric academic subjects dominated by crotchety old men in messy offices and masculine women with thick glasses as they are in movies and all too often in books, but dynamic, exciting parts of a huge story that doesn't really make sense until you understand at least a little about all the different parts...does that make any sense to anyone?


oh...and GREAT BIG CONGRATS to Squatter.
