Thanks. I was initiated in the Chapter-by-Chapter discussion, but everyting here is serving to magnify my enjoyment of the books.
One aspect of Moria that I didn't appreciate as much until my most recent re-read was the great hall with the windows way, way, wayyyyy high up to let in a little light. Captured very well.
There has been some agreement with me concerning my briefly stated and unsupported opinion about Lorien. I'd like to know what some other people's reactions. If you didn't like it, can you say why? I'll have to think about it more, but I imagine it has something to do with it being too ethereal - similar to Cate Blanchett's overdone interpretation of Galadriel.
