Re: Lord of the Ring landscapes

I've never been one for description...I much prefer action in my readings. Therefore I frequently skim over the landscapes and only get a vague idea of what the surroundings look like and my own mind fills in the rest. It is great that Tolkien can appeal to both those who hunger for description and those who don't! However, after reading this thread, I think, perhaps, that I will go back and read more thoroughly some of the places I've visited in Middle Earth before...you all have inspired me. <img src=smile.gif ALT="
