Speaking of obsessions and religions and geekery (not suggesting the three are the same, either), just this afternoon, I was thinking that after I leave school, I should get a job in a bookshop, and then I realised that I'd put them out of business.
Customer: I was wondering if you could recommend any mystery novels?
Me: Stuff mysteries! Read Tolkien!
Customer 2: Do you have any Starwars books?
Me: Starwars? Are you joking? What kind of idiot reads Starwars? You freak! Here, why don't you have a look at this nice copy of the Silmarillion?
And so on... <img src=smile.gif ALT="

But yeah, Tolkienist sounds good, but I'm sure there's got to be a better word than that. "Tolkienist" looks strange in print.
"This sig is proudly quote-free." -Me.
