How do ya get a degree in Tolkienology? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Or you could just... Hang out for a year or two in the Books forum. That would about do it.

Seriously, people, do you all realize how much serious discussion and debate has gone on over the past three years, and how much of it is equal or superior to what you would learn in a classroom? There are plenty of people in this forum who would qualify as Tolkien professors if there was such a college.

The material is there; honestly, it is an embarassment of wealth. So, prospective Tolkien majors: Pick your specialty (I will unblushingly state that I chose Frodo as my specialty, but the possibilities are numerous), get into the Book archves, and have at it.

(You have come to a Well. Drink deep.)
