Your friends excuses for not liking the FOTR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I used to hate it! (Don't kill me!!!) I read the books to young. (I read them on my own impulse, however.) There was nothing else to read, so I forced myself to read them, and I didn't like them. I didn't read them again for a long time. <P>I think I would have read them again sooner, but it got all popular, and I have a VERY contrary streak! Heh heh. So I was like, why do you guys like THOSE books? They're so dull! But, my dear freind and companion became OBSESSED, and my little bro liked them, so I read them again . . . and fell in love! Now I'm proud to say I can stand with the obsessed! <P>And that person who said they're stupid 'cause elves aren't real, is crazy. I spend half my time wishing book-worlds were true! (Like Narnia, Redwall, and LotR)I even have this great theory about them being real! (If you want to know what it is send me a private message - it's too wierd to be known to the general public!) <P>I guess I just want to say, THERE IS HOPE for the dingbatty non-LotR's. On the other hand, maybe we should just force them to dress like orcs on an elvish target-practice range! <p>[ November 07, 2002: Message edited by: Mintyztwin ]
