When will I understand Tolkien like you guys?

[NinjaFerret]

Well, I think I fit in somewhere in the middle of all this. I have read the trilogy a whole bunch of times (lost count), but I still haven't finished absorbing everything from it. I haven't tackled the Silmarillion yet. But hey, there's so much going on, there are very few people who will be able to absorb all of Tolkein.

For all you high school people, NYU had a Tolkein and Lewis class, but I don't know if they are offering it this fall... or ever again, b/c I didn't see it in the course book. But Tolkein scholars do exist... dunno how they make enough to eat, but if I did, I'd become one. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Now I'm going to find a topic where I can rave about Peter Jackson... Peace.
