Book Fans vs. Movie Fans - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Very interesting emotional exchanges going on here (I'm going to insert a little smilie here. That means that I'm laughing at the "twit" name calling) I'd like to assert my own views as unrelated to everyone else's, so here goes:1. Those who have read more that one Tolkien book and enjoyed them and wishes to aquire more knowledge of Tolkien's works, no matter what led to their introduction to Tolkien Literature, can be known as a fan.2. Those who have seen the movies, gathered excessive amounts of movie-fan goods and collectables, and yet has not read more than the first book of FotR because its "too boring" are not fans. They count as only two-fifths of a fan.3. Those who have seen the movies, cartoon or live-action, and have since then completed at least one Tolkien novel and are seeking more are official fans. This completes my set of rules for determination. All those lower than three are not fans. All those above one are solid fans. Iarwain[ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: Iarwain ]
