Where have the Rings led you?

[Gayalondiel]

The Lord of the Rings has led me on several journeys. the foremost of these are a renewed interest and deepening appreciation of the mythology of earth and a love for full appreciation of work. My friends often ask if knowing JRRT's work so well spoils the reading, but i would say withe the knowledge comes a new appreciation, and with every reading comes a new, more subtle level of understanding and joy. Also, LOTR has inspired my creativity and composition. but i think above all, i can comprehend much more clearly the deepness and strength of emotion, it gives me a reference to understand real-life situations of grief and love.
