Interesting and thought-provoking questions,
mark/Helen! Unfortunately, I haven't the time to answer at length - I just spent almost an hour catching up with the newest forum reading and must go hem the skirt of my Arwen-style dress so that I can pack it for going to Birmingham this week to attend 'Tolkien 2005' - where, incidentally, I will be meeting several BDers! Do you think LotR has changed my life in any way?
