I know that Tolkien made many of the names of his characters and places based on Welsh language. I dont know about planned irony though.

I guess Barrow Wight didn't want any cursing or innapropriate language on the forum. Taking out the word di-ck was done with good intentions, but it can have bad effects as well. smilies/smile.gif...

I wouldn't doubt that this rumor is true. Tuor served Ulmo in every way he could and never thought about himself. I think that he would deserve to atleast come to Eressea.

I would have to agree with Dwarin in very paticular cases only, such as the Oath of Feanor. For Maedhros and Maglor it was a curse to be immortal. They had taken the oath to get The Silmarils back no...

I remember reading a post by Mithadan that talks about Men making up stories. I forgot where I read it though.

Having the book read to you is a great thing when the reader does it well. Who Im talking about is Tolkien. I downloaded his 7 minute reading of The Two Towers part where Gollum, Sam, and Frodo are...

Just to say my part in this, I dont think Sauron thought of sex at all.

I think he didn't have spare time at all either. There was always something to do for him. With his ring being lost I'm sure...

I very rarely have dreams that I remember. Ofcourse everyone dreams every night, but its all about if you remember them. The few that I remember were either extremely odd and made no sense (Me...

It was actually kindof dissapointing for me when I read about the Ring finally being destroyed. When Frodo claimed it for himself I started reading at super speed because I had spent so much time...

Ah. My favorite part of all Tolkiens writing happens to be the situation between Bert, Tom, and William. Its so funny that I laugh every time I read it.

I think the elves probably did create fiction storys. It just never talks about them in the books. Just like you never hear men making up fictional stories. It doesn't mean they never did take the...

I actually enjoy the small printed books. I hate looking at Harry Potter pages where you can read a line so fast that it doesn't feel right.

And I have a three book set. Very nice if you ask me....

Sorry Bruce. I thought it was agreed that we could post whenever we found a double quote in the book.

You are right though. I just wanted to give a quote out for fun. Not meaning to wreck the...

Galadriel is not Melian. Melian left Middle Earth after Thingol was killed. And she was a Maia so there is definitely a difference between the two.

I dont know about Este. As you said, Estel means...

I think it was overdone. I always imagined her talking with emphasis in her Queen of Darkness part, not what the movie made her seem like. She didn't look altogether beautiful in that scene either....

Good point, Kuruharan. I actually forgot that the eagles came from The Void. I guess they would have to be Maiar then. I find it odd though, that if they were Maiar, that as they multiplied there...

Just to pose the question though, why would the elves want to make a seemingly evil stream. Beorn or...

I would say that because the eagles were created by Manwe as his vassels (For lack of a better word, dont know how to put it.) he naturally made them learned in speech.

I think that caves are far from overused in Tolkiens books. They are a great place for people to dwell in safety (Menegroth), Dwarves love caves, and basically all evil things like to dwell in caves...
