the silm fascinated me from the very beginning, not only because i am of the elvish inclination [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] but because it was resonant with mythology, was written in loftier english than lotr, and was full of people even more fiercer, intense and passionate than those in lotr [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. it's amazing to me really how much the silm stimulated my imagination when many others found it a tedious read...
belated happy v, child!
