I personally pronounce it TOLL-kin (or "The great one," depending on what mood I'm in [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ) I've heard somebody pronounce it TOLK-yin. Strange
I personally don't think I'm a Tolkienist, I consider myself a Barrow-Wight. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] But for those who don't know what a Barrow-Wight is (Oh so poor uninlightened fools), I'm just a "REALLY REALLY REALLY big Tolkien fan"
"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"
Hmm, I was thinking the exact same thing not very long ago (there is also the prospect of getting deals on books)
AAAAAHH!!! I just had another great idea. A bookstore that carries only Tolkien and Tolkien-related books. It would be awesome (however, probably not too profitable; would have to be internet based)
