Ah yes, the young again. If you think it is hard now to be the only one in your house that is not only a fan but an avid fan, think about what it would have been like about twenty to twentyfive years ago. I was shunned as "one of them". I am still reading and rereading everything Tolkien I can find. My wife and son say the movies are OK, but "so what?" At least we have the internet and a great site like The Barrowdowns to communicate and share our enthusiasm in Tolkien. And yes, I would rather spend my money on LOTR merchandise rather than drugs or things that are harmful.
