Hi everyone, I have not posted here before, but I would just like to give my view. I think that many of us were 'Tolkien fans' for years without doing much about it...I read the books every couple of years and they have always been among my favourite...and then the movie came!! It did not so much change my perception of the books, although I now have a much clearer 'face' to put on the characters...what the movie did (besides create lots of new fans) was make us long-time fans realise that we were not alone, and that there were people out there we could discuss our passion with!!
