Sorry, I'm so happy I have someone else I can geek out about this stuff to :D
Oh hon, don't worry! It feels so good to do some in-depth geeking about Tolkien again! :D I haven't done it in far too long!
Okay, then Tolkien's Ring will be purchased as soon as I have some money left. Maybe there'll be a copy of it at Forbidden Planet in London? It could happen...last time I was there they did have quite a few books on Tolkien...
People complain about the lack of in-depth characters?! They do. The problem is, they don't see LOTR for what it is. It was never meant to be a gripping action-loaded fantasy novel. It was always meant to be like...Tolkien's own created mythology. Sort of. I mean, Beowulf wasn't very in-depth either. People complain that his writing wasn't gripping but they don't know that he just perfectly imitated the Anglo-Saxon writing, for instance.
