Who?
How?
What?
When?
Do?
ALL THE TIME.... COME ON

The man would be ready to ring your neck, First and foremost Tolkien for the most part wrote the books for himself, and i would think it frustraited him greatly to be bombarded questions, about factual questions about his world, that he probably meant never to be known.

If i had to ask him a question, it would be something like.

Have you planed to write another Book?
or
How the idea orginaly spawned in your mind?

But most certainly i would tell him, thank you.
