Hi Raefindel, mae govannen!

I hope people on this thread will forgive us for straying from the topic...
I have 2 boys (11 & 16). About a year ago the older one read the Hobbit (in German) and that was my first encounter with Tolkien !(Better late than never!!) I read it, too, (in English), was delighted and continued with LotR. Then I really got spellbound! Hardly ever have I been so fascinated, moved and thrilled by any book.
I`m now in the middle of reading the Silmarillion - quite a challenge for me.
Every now & then I enjoy looking at the numerous Tolkien illustrations by divers artists which my son has downloaded . And I`ve seen the FotR movie 4 times. My husband thinks I`m a bit crazy to be so obsessed with a story. (He never reads a novel, let alone fantasy.)

Suilad, Guinevere
