The Balrog-Durin's Bane · 06-30-2002, 02:31 PM

When I got to the end of the ROTK for the first time, I just kind of sat there and had this look of horror on my face. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] And for a couple of minutes I kinda went crazy. No, no, thats not the end, no no uh uh theres more too it isnt there? And then I realized there isn't and I sat in a misbelieving comatose state for a couple of hours. Sure, I can read it again, but I know what is around the bend. I know when Gandalf takes a hit from the balrog, I know when boromir passes away, I know where Gollum is leading Frodo and Sam. Its just not the same. I wish my memory of Lotr could be erased so I could go back and enjoy it anew....but it will never be.....
