how did LOTR change you? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't even know how to describe it, but LOTR has changed me more than anything I've read. When I finished it, I cried for half an hour. Not really 'cause the ending is sad, 'cause it's not, when you read the appendixes and find out that Sam gets to see his Master Frodo again... It was because I couldn't believe I really had finished. I've only had time to read it that one time, but still I remember all kinds of tiny details, almost a year after I read it.. I have become interested in whole new things, and started hanging out here, which has given me a bunch of new friends (once again, thanks Samwise, for being so welcoming!). Well, as I said, I'm not being very good at describing my relationship with LOTR, but it is undescribable...
