Hello everyone!
I am pleased to be a part of barrow-downs now. Seems like a brilliant place.
I have been a fan of Tolkien relatively recently. 7 years ago to be exact. :P
And unlike most here, I haven't really read all of JRRT's wonderful works. I read LotR and then picked up The Hobbit and loved them both. But my true love is and will always be The Silmarillion.
I like the films by Peter Jackson though there are so many changes that do bug me to no ends. But by the end, I can separate them from Tolkien-verse, and so I do love them.
I look forward to this place and I look forward to getting to know some of you here.
Theoden
