Indeed, I have. I too, have come to embrace nature more so than I ever did before I read LotR (and am now trying to get involved with as many environmental projects as I can) and I am contantly reminded of the writings of the Good Professor through everyday things. I don't think a single day passes when something just randomly reminds me of LotR.
Going along with the nature scene, I never paid much attention to the waters, the seas, but after reading the books, I sort of have a - I don't know, maybe a respect for the sea.
And often I think about how a certain situation I am in would be handled by different characters, or in Middle-Earth in general. Also, I can't help but burst out in a hobbity drinking song when great cheer and merriment is about. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
