The first time I read LotR,I didn't really understand any of the 'behind-the-scenes' stuff. This was simply because I was too young to read 'between the lines' (Disney don't really leave much to your own imagination, do they?).

The second time and so on (don't know how many times I've read it, but it's about five,I think), I understood more and more of what it was that really went on, and I kept getting more and more frustrated on not knowing what these great deeds of the past were all about. Reading the Sil was sort of like salvation for me, 'tolkienwise', that is... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
