Tired of Tolkien

[Susan Delgado]

Does no one remember Selena? The president of her fan club became obssessed to the point where she couldn't bear sharing Selena with anyone else, and Selena is dead now, because of an obssession. So please stop calling it that. Obssessions are unhealthy, to say the least, and no good has ever come of one.

I myself have no o'erweening desire in Tolkien; I have read LOTR once only, and the Tolkien Reader, and The Hobbit many times, though not in at least five years. I come here for the company, and for the RPGs (when I have the time to play them). I like the people who reside here as much as I like the topic of the forum.

I often think this way about the downs. Because LOTR is just a book, what happens when there's nothing left to discuss. The confusions are cured and mysteries solved.

Impossible. There is always someone out there with a different perspective on it, with a question no one has thought of before.
