I'd ask him to sign me a huge pile of his books.

I'd ask what Elladan and Elrohir decided when the time for their deferred decision finally came ..and why were they allowed to defer that decision...and hopefully that would get the Prof sufficiently in to his stride for me to find out the million and one other questions I have

I'd ask him if Frodo died in the Undying Lands and if Sam got to see him again over there.

Can I post again with the One Question of my siblings?

Probably the first question I ever asked on a Tolkien message board......"Who is older, Treebeard or Tom Bombadil?" never got a good answer....

i'd ask him what happened when the world ended.

Before someone snatches up this one, I would ask, "Who and what, sir, is Tom Bombadil?"

Morai · 01-19-2007, 06:46 PM

I'd probably be too awestruck to ask him anything.

Bêthberry · 01-19-2007, 06:46 PM

I'd ask how he felt about Tom Bombadil not being in the movie.

Okay, seriously now, I'd ask Tolkien how well he thought CT captured the ideas of his Legendarium in The Silm which CT published--if the changes suit his intention or if he would revise them.
