How did you imagine things in the books? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Strangely enough, Gollum and Sam came out almost EXACTLY like I had pictured them when reading! And for a while, after I had read the books long before and forgotten a lot of the details, I thought about it again and somehow mis-remembered Sam pushing Gollum into the Cracks of Doom...hmmm, doesn't work as well, does it? Also, I had this picture of a dip in the landscape before Edoras, with a whole lot of little white flowers (Simbelmynë) in my head and a hill rising behind the dip up to the Meduseld...Rivendell was wonderful, though; I want to live there! Also, Lothlorien seems like it should have been more golden than the silvery way it looked in the film.<P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta
