That is very sweet. I hope they were good to you.
Regarding The Hobbit movies..... I never bothered to watch the third one. The made up love story was too much for me. I don't think every movie needs a romance, especially one that contrived.

That's awesome, would you recommend reading it before or after the hobbit and LOR, or before?
I consider dusting off my copies of LOR and the little hobbit for winter now. Some red wine and a lit fireplace, it's not good for my eyes though but I love the atmosphere.
If I may....
I would recommend reading The Hobbit (Over The Mountain and Far Away) , then the Lord of the Rings Trilogy .
Then , and only then , the Silmarillion
There is a reason for that.

Isn’t the hobbit called there and back again?

I'm pretty sure that I read Elric of Melnibone around '88.
The part that I remember the most was his crossing of a desert. No matter how starved and dehydrated he became, he couldn't die because of a pact. He just kept on going.
Reminds me of The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny, and The World of Tiers by Philip José Farmer.
Tolkien, different characters for different Universes.
he brought me here. He went under the name verschickter.

I hadn't heard it before either.... until I decided to do this thread and delve into Tom a little more. It got my gears turning, a lot. It's a deep idea- that true freedom from domination is eliminating any desire to control. Was Tom created without any desire to dominate or did he develop it over time? I would think (and hope) that it was something he purged over time, which gives hope that others could evolve to be beyond the grasp of evil.
