			I joined the Downs during the movie era: seeing the films made me want to talk to knowledgeable people about the books I loved and remembered, and to discuss why certain things were better/worse for the changes that were made. After all when I first read Tolkien there was no internet....
 I also believe that in the same way that one can love both Blur and Beethoven, one can love Books and Werewolf.
 But then, I too have grown tree-ish, while mourning the loss of some of my more illustrious contemporaries.
