What is the reason for your nickname ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've always been interested in Gollum, and really Gollum is the reason I became interested in LOTR. I started with just reading the riddles in The Hobbit; which then lead me to read the whole chapter, since I enjoyed the riddles. I liked that chapter so much I read the book, and then it went on from there. So really my LOTR obsession really started with Gollum, and one of the reasons I like Gollum so much was because of him always saying "my preciouss". And so thats where the nickname comes from, the saying that started my interest (plus a couple more Y's.)

And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her. "My Preciousss" - the line that started the obsession.
