My youth was rather in the North, from your POV... and it is not
And I re-read LOTR now and then, but with less enthusiasm. Reading these newsgroups has also been a thorough remedy against the faint reminiscences of literary magic in Tolkien's work... So I guess my presence in aft/rabt is a combination of curing myself of a long-lasting fascination with Tolkien, of trying to understand this fascination (with the help of others) now that it is gone, and of simply feeling at home here because we share a common ground.Come now! I stillt hink the book is magic, though of course it has its weak points - like all books.
