The Tolkien Coming of Age Club 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I know what you mean, Child. I was looking for Tales from the Perilous Realm on the Barnes and Noble site, and since I have trouble remembering the exact title, I had to wade though upwards of 900 books, most of which were written about Tolkien, or his work, or the Inklings.... I found myself wondering if ALL these are really necessary.

On the other hand I did, see a copy of Samwise blank journal that I had way back when. I had totally forgetten about that.

Pardon?

Blank journal??

Oh dear, I suppose I should have explained myself! Or else you might be liable to think I've been snooping around.

I was refering to the book shown in the following link, but couldn't remember the proper name of it. But it looking it up again I see that it is called Hobbit's Travels by Sam Gamgee

It is indeed a blank journal. I had received a copy of it as a Christmas gift many, many years ago, but the yellow color and sketches inside kept me from using it.

No worries, Miss Hilde. I myself have two copies of this journal, one bought by me, and another given me by a friend (the very next day, no less, so said friend does not know I have two copies of it)

. I know what you mean abou the nice artwork, for the most part....can't say as I care for the one near the front of me....er....Sam.....

I have two copies of A Hobbit's Journal (Hardcover and paperback) and one copy of "A Walk THrough The Shire". Haven't written a single rune in any of them.

I couldn't resist posting this link. It's an earlier incarnation of this thread, going back to 2002, and has some intriguing posts from folks, a number of them still active on the site and others who have journeyed on, describing how and when they became interested in Tolkien:

It's possible to link into this same thread directly from the present site index: http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4672
But somehow it seems more appropriate when framed by the older board.

Oh my, we were all younger then than we are now! Thanks for the link, Child! Enjoyable reading...

One more thing - I clicked on the old fan fiction link and found our *old* site! Since there's occasionally someone who asks about the good old "Dude, Where's My Ring" story, and some may remember others, that's a great find!
