InklingElf,

Hi, I'm mark12_30, otherwise known as Helen. Welcome! And I really dig your name! The concept of "The Inklings" has fascinated me, in an abstract sense, for months now. I really wanted to write but I felt that in order to do so and do it well, I'd need an "Inklings". This forum really has provided that, so far.

A book that has fascinated me has been TOlkien's letters. I highly recommend them. They help me understand him more as a Catholic (I'm an charismatic evangelical ex-catholic... crazy, eh?) and Tolkien's works are, I think, richer when understood from that perspective.

Welcome, again, and I look forward to further chatting...

grace and peace, --mark12_30
