Is it just me or does everyone feel sad at the beginning of Lord of the Rings (book)? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I haven't reread any of the books, because I'm still not done with RotK. But I do know what the feeling would be. I would feel happy, as mentioned before, because there's a whole long story, an adventure, this feeling of warmth and comfort... You curl up with your book and you feel it all.

But at the same time, when I feel all that I'd probably take a half a second to let my mind wander around the basic events in LotR. And I would eventually let my mind wander to the point where it realizes that there's an ending to the story, it's not like the Neverending Story. Then I would feel sad, realizing that my heros' biggest, most amazing adventures would be all over at one point. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
