Hey!!!

Im new too...

As all of you, Ive read the 3 books of the LOTR 4 times each!

Ive read the Silmarillion also, but I have not read the Hobbit (those halflings make me wanna puke!!! J/K) and Im starting to read the UT.

I loved the movies. I think that Peter Jackson's version is great, and with a really different feel. Somewhat lighter, but more understandable and with some corrections to the story that a die-hard and long time fan would do.

Im particularly interested in Morgoth, in the Balrogs, in Gandalf (I LOVE HIM!!!) but MOSTLY Im an elf-lover. My infatuation began when I first saw Cate Blanchett as Galadriel... I had not read the books by the time I first saw FOTR... And I became enamoured with Galadriel and everyting elf-related...

In fact I hated the use of elves in the battle of Helm Deep not because it altered the story... but for the reason that elves were killed... Too depressing and saddening for me.

Anyway. Hello to all!!!!
