Hi

You can call me Grok, I'm in year 11 (15-16) and I live in Coventry the UK. I first read the Hobbit when I was about 6 and I have been a Tolkien fan since. I have read the Hobbit, LoTR, Unfinished Tales and Silmarillion and I feel I have enough knowledge of Tolkien ad his works to join this site.

I have been a member of Tolkien communities, especially forums, since 2000. After the release of RoTK most of the forums I was on began to lose member and by 2004 many forums were dead and forgotten. I indeed myself began to lose interest in LOTR and have only recently rekindled my interest in the great works after coming across my books in the bottom of a cupboard.

As for how I found this site? I was googling Imrahil and their was a member on this forum of that name and it came up with his profile. I hope you will all welcome me in your little community (or should I say big) and I hope to speak to you all soon.

Grok- you’re local Communist.
