Annoying the unknowing with your knowledge - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My best friend (actually, she's about the only one who will put up with me - but she really truly is my best friend) had not read the books when the FOTR was coming out. She managed to get up to T.B. though before I hustled her to the theatre. I've only read about half of the Silm, but that's enough to really bug her when I say "Elentari is the Quenya Elvish word for 'Queen of the Stars', given to Varda, one of the Valar and spouse of Manwe, when she put the constellations in the sky for the first-born, the elves, and she is also more commonly known as Elbereth..." She gets a kind of look on her face which says 'shut up, when I've finished the books you can preach the history to me.' [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

She has now read at least half of TTT, but once again I dragged her off to the theatre...hopefully she'll have finished ROTK before the movie, as I think it's better to read the books first and form your own visual pictures. She's already lost a lot of them, I fear...

But yes, I most definitely know a lot more than most of the people I know...so Barrow-downs is a relief - I don't have to explain all of the genealogies to you guys
because you already know! Wonderful...

God bless,
