I was an English major for a time, but I switched to Foreign Lanagues after a while. I have a love for all lanagues, I guess that is one thing that attracted me to Tolkien's works. As I read, I am constantly finding interesting stories behind the names of people and places in the story and how it relates to their character.

I'll have to get the Hobbit and LotR out again to find some of them. I even noticed one to have a connection to a word in Japanese.
