Rather makes Mithalwen's five hours by train pale by comparison, eh wot?

I think we should collectively encourage Eomer to do that back of the room slinking, particularly for that Images of wolves in Tolkien's fiction paper.

I would think there would be some very interesting discussion on what constitutes horror and how Tolkien presents it, given his sideways glance at evil in LotR. Come to think of it, that would make a great topic for our own discussions here. Instead of Tolkien and other fantasy, Tolkien and horror. hmmm.
