New Members - Introduce Yourself Here

Hello, I have been a fan of Tolkien ever since I read The Hobbit as a kid. Since then I have read and re- read everything I could get my hands on.
Over the years the philosophy behind Tolkien's myth making has fascinated me more and more. I have recently begun to read insightful analysis by Verlyn Fliger and others. However I don't know any other serious fanatics so here I am!

I'll look forward to having intelligent discussion with all of you, pleased to be here.
