Hello.
I'm Mithol and I found a link to this forum from an Eragon forum. It's been a long while since I've been "into" Tolkien and so I decided to join a forum which looked considerably active. I am even thinking of rereading the books again soon. I am more into movies than books, so I've seen the films more recently than I've read the books. I have to say that for five years after seeing them I thought they were the best movies ever made. And forever and ever they will remain smoewhere near the top of my list of favourites.
I was introduced to LOTR when I was nine or ten years old by the cartoon movie from the seventies and loved it so much, despite being of questionable quality. That was shortly before we heard that the PJ movies were being made. I would have gone straight to the cinema except that my mother made me read the books first and I'm glad she did because, even at ten, I appreciated them as a masterpiece. 2004 was my biggest year for Tolkien. I was a huge nut that year. I was a member of the then very active forums that can now be found at
www.lotrfanmb.com and used to have a link from
www.lordoftherings.net. My username was Eowynmaiar. If anyone here knows me then hello to you.
Anyway, that was my life story. Sorry for all the waffling.
