Tharlionglin has just left Hobbiton.
Thanks guys.

I wasn't sure what kind of response I was going to get but it has been humourous, thanks to Hot and Crispy Hobbit and informative as well thanks to Sharku. The information about the letters is going to be quite a good read, thanks Amarie.

I just finished the Silmarillion for the umpteeth time and will move my way through the LOTR series again, planning a trip to Chapters to pick up the copy of the letters to restart the cycle again.

My particular thoughts on the matter is that Sauron left the one ring in Barad Dur as he would not risk to lose it in Numenor if things went ill. This avoids the tricky issue of how did the ring return with him to ME when he had no physical form to carry it, as well as his inability to regain the ring while in spirit form after Isildur so kindly cut it off his hand.

So I have some research to do. No offense Sharku but as always I like to see it for myself.

Happy reading.
