Whenever I re-read any of Tolkien’s books (quite regularly, and not necessarily from beginning to end in correct order) I always “discover” something I’ve never thought about before. For example, while reading about the sinking of Numenor I suddenly related it to the stories of Atlantis. Not much of a discovery anyway [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] and perhaps totally wrong, but it kept me proud of my wits for a couple of days… [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

PS Can anyone tell me what ‘eucatastrophe’ is? It isn’t in any of my dictionaries. Btw, when my husband nags me about ‘wasting my time’ here, I keep telling him that I’m improving the language.

PSS Sophia, what an avatar! And so illustrative for THIS thread.
