A Thinking Question . . .

[MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie]

Yes, I'll say it again, that's a great question. My answer- no and no. I agree with elvenglass that its good to let your imagination run freely. But do you really think about whether a character is
believeable or not while your reading the books? I'm not criticizing you or calling you stupid but if you do that, why? When I read the books, I don't think about that. I just read. To me, when you read a book about middle earth, you sort of enter ME as an illusion but you forget what's real or not. So reading tolkien literature, is kind of a way to escape from reality, and that's why I love it so much. But I'm straying from the topic...anyways, just read, and don't worry about your question. I think that if you think about your Q while you're reading, you're thinking too much. Just read and get lost in the book, I think that you'll enjoy it if you haven't already.
