[Folwren]

Greeting and Salutations to everyone. I am fairly new here. I arrived last week sometime and I leaped immediately into the conversations on the books and a few on the movies.

I have to admit that I've only read a few books by Tolkien...The LotR, naturally, and The Hobbit, and the Sil, though that was some time ago, and most of the Lays of Beleriand, and then Farmer Giles of Ham, Smith of Wootton Major, Tree and Leaf, and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, which is a collection of poetry by Tolkien. So, though I don't know the history of Middle-Earth much before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, I do know those four books well.

I'm still getting to know my way around the Down's, so any advise on PMing, signatures, how to converse without making enemies, or any other complicated thing would be thankfully accepted.
