The Tolkien Middle Age Club - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Welcome, dear new members

I guess ours is the club with most of the perspective and opportunity, since youngsters of the other club will grow up one day to be our members too, and there will be some decade to go before there is a time for us to move on to oldies

Surely, we of MAC form a minority here on the Downs. Most of the members are either younger or older then we find ourselves to be. But, I suppose, there are some newly deceased souls meeting our requirements? So this thread is bumped up

cheers

*peeks through the window and wishes she hadn't read the hobbit quite so precociously, thus qualifying herself for the old fogies group rather than the bright young things*.... the fogies are friendly on the whole but Old Prof Hedgethistle can be quite cantankerous...

ah, we are not bright young things, we are sober grown-up ones. Bright ones can be found in Tolkien Under Age Club

All things are relative... I definitely wouldn't make the cut for that one .. I will just have to console myself with being the "baby"/ juvenile delinquent of the pipe and slippers brigade - though I don't smoke and my slippers are of the fluffy panda variety... so until you reach years of discretion Namarie ..... maybe I should start a person of a certain age club...

I think this is the place for me.

I read The Hobbit and the LotR as a kid, then rediscovered Tolkien in college. However, I have to admit that my interest didn't extend to his other works until it was piqued again by a certain recent movie trilogy....

Before that, I was content with my once-a-year summer rereading of LotR.

It's nice to find others here of about my age--I was feeling rather alone amidst the young 'uns and the sage professorial types.

Welcome, tar-ancalime

Have a seat by the fire. Backgammon? Pool? Soft drinks?
