I am the ONLY person I ever know in REAL world who READ LOTR. It frustrates me. At least you have people you can discuss the book with, however much they hate it.

In Korea, LOTR translation is twisted to a baby story with lots of color pictures portraying Sauron as wearing a large helmet and big boots with a sword.

They ask me in wonder, "I thought you were a bookworm! I never knew you'd read childish fantasies like THESE," whic h makes me explode and recite all the poetry in LOTR. They can't understand English, though, so...

I do not have a boyfriend, but I ahve many friends, whom all runs for cover if I mention LOTR.
