"How does one pronounce Tolkien?" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Instead of degrading my experience when I pronounce the names correctly, it enhances my reading. Then I know that that is the way to say something and I can really get my head into it. I guess that there are some things that I think don't sound right when pronounced correctly, such as Isengard. I don't think it's supposed to be pronounced the way I pronounce it, but I just can't get it into my head to say it any other way. So it stays how it is.
