Sorry, I've been spouting off for the last few weeks without introducing myself.

I'm an avid LOTR reader (like us all no doubt). first read the hobbit at school and then moved onto lotr. had to restart a number of times before I got into it. Not sure how many times I've read it now. It always makes me cry.

I love the way that you find different things every time you read it. My favourite part after my last reading is now book II of the Two Towers.

My pet hate is people dissing lotr when they haven't even read it.

I love the movies, but at times people may not think this. (see some of my posts....) Honestly, I cannot think of anything that I have looked forward to as much as dec 17th this year......

Since fotr came out I've been working on a doc that compares all of the scenes and dialouge from fotr movie with the book, including all the references to passages in the book. I like the obscure ones (ie Sauron the deceiver) taken from the Silmarillion etc. I've pretty much finished the fotr one but I haven't published it on the net yet. Is there anywhere on this site that would include things like this?

Anyway, my other interests are football (that's the proper english one). I'm a season ticket holder at a premiership team, but I won't say which one as that would set people against me!

I'm from Essex in England (thus my barrow downs name) and I've been to LOTR forums before (fanspot.net and halls of mandos) but broke off as it was taking too much of my time.

as we're nearing the ending of the movies now, I've decided to have another spate of visits. Great site, and a broad spectrum of fans from filmites to bookites. (I'm pretty much near the top of the bookites side, but still love the movies)

Cheers.
