As many of you have said, LOTR has been a friend to me too, for 20 years now! The beautiful imagery, the exciting battles, the warm relationships and those wonderfully descriptive passages of places that I will never see yet imagine so vividly! I told myself that I would just read FOTR before seeing the movie, but again I got hooked and had more late nights until I finished the appendix at the end of ROTK! I never fail to be encouraged, in a melancholy sort of way, by the end of the book.
