I would like to see Mallorns...... but I guess not seeing balrogs is the pay-off...

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-12-2004, 02:06 PM

I'd like to see some of that architecture. Minas Tirith, etc...

Laitoste · 08-12-2004, 08:22 PM

Well, there'd be less people than my current home. I absolutely adore wide open spaces, where you couldn't see a house if you tried. I like the lonely feeling. Don't know why...

I think if I could I would live in the Shire share tales of old have a pipe once in a while drink jollily work hard on my farm and garden read..."It is no bad thing to celebrate simple life"

Or tag along behind Gandalf learning from his wisdom learning the lore of old

Apart from natural beauty and such I wouldn't want to live in ME at all.

It would likely be medieval in lifestyle and then I have to remember a phrase from a indebt book dealing with the Middle Ages in my family's very own book-collection.

'Life was short,hard and brutal'

No ME for me,thank you!

The average Hobbit surely didn't suffer brutal existence, did he/she?

I don't think you would have enjoyed the hard-working life of the typical hobbit ( Not the Frodo's who could sit on their bum all day). I bet you'd cry for home in less then a week, wether the hobbit-life was brutal or not.

yes it was...I do however wonder would it bew that bad... Yes going from our time to theirs would be horrible but had we lived there with no knowledge of this time would we think it was that way...especially with hobbits...or elves?

Without the benefit of modern medicine I would have been dead at 3 weeks old so no ME for me either - though like Eomer I would like to see the architecture .... Rivendell and Dol Amroth......

There are plenty of open spaces in our own world and lovely too .... if you are prepared to walk to them.... I mean other than some of the flora and fauna .... I can't think of anything geographical that we don't have .....

Most hobbits seem to have been living more or less hand to mouth ... most of the societies in ME seem to have been at best benevolently feudal ..... and so male dominated.........
