I am coming into my 18/19th year of being a Tolkien fan - not bad for my age but of course very much less than yourself and a good number of people on here. I am also interested to see how i relate to the works as i go through my life - Magpie talks about how they changed for her from reading it when younger then later in life, wonder if that will happen for everyone as they read it throughout the years. I definitely pick up new things every time or even just things i knew previously but just forgot - just read Treebeard chapter last night and i completely forgot the water in the bowls glows, also the description of Treebeard made me go look for artists interpretations on how he looked - face wise i like Lee's best, scene wise i really like Nasmiths vision. I dont want to come across as some militant tolkien fan though, lol. I am not going to storm into someones house if i know they dont like the books or said something i disagree with, lol. Just more little niggles i guess. I have lots of friends who dont like the book but love the movies, i dont keep going on at them to read it but when some did i was pleased as i was hoping they would like it as much as me. Hmm not my best thread, lol
