Anyone for a good debate?

Thats very funny, because i've read that he absolutely hated obsessive readers because many of them would call him from overseas and wake him up in the middle of the night, asking questions that he didn't want to answer. So it seems that both of you would be content to simply know of each other's remote (and probably unincountered) existences, unless you went out to Oxford to meet him (which he would probably hated even more).

While reading, most of the time, I try not to think of Tolkien himself, but I find it irresistible while reading about Beren and Luithien; the two characters that he related so much to himself and his wife. It just makes me think 'wow, thats nice'. But I agree that other relations to Tolkien would make the books truly dry.

And sorry about the name. Who is it, or what does it mean?
