Nobody ever wants to talk with me so long about LOTR.
But the one long time I had was Aug (maybe Sep) of 2001 (pathetic that I remember!). I had just finished reading LOTR for my first time that night, the next day I had to pick up my sisters from the airport and for the next 2 hours, in the car, I told them the whole story, crying and everything. Afterall, they were a captive audience but they were genuinely interested.
