Heh, maybe I should have said "...at least, not all at once."

"I desired dragons with a profound desire"
"It struck me last night that you might write a fearfully good romantic drama, with as much of the 'supernatural' as you cared to introduce. Have you ever thought of it?"

My daughter's favorite line to quote:
Sam: Nothin'. Just a bit of seasoning. I thought maybe if we was havin' a roast chicken one night or something...
Frodo: Roast chicken?

"Barney Snow was here." ~Hug like a hobbit!~ "In my heaven..."
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.

I'm coming to this thread a bit late, but I don't think anybody has posted this link yet. At Mellonath Daeron (the language guild of Forodrim, the Swedish Tolkien Society), you can find a great summary, volume by volume, of everything in The History of Middle-earth. It also includes the appoximate dates when each included piece was written. I've found it a useful reference.

Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable - fall asleep and miss your life.
