Middle-earth Journeys

Hello Kelkhatan, welcome to the forum and hope to hear from your often. I too find the Silmarillian facinating and a very under-represented forum. Please feel free to add to forums that have been idle and if I can add some thoughts I will endevour to strike up a few brains cells.

thanks for the warm welcome guys

I will give my best

Hi kelkhatan, nice to meet you

Hi, I'm french, and I'm sorry but my english ist not very good, it's good enought for read you, but for wrigting... upps...
I know this forum for a long time, but I never dared to cross the step to be registered

I must also admit, I have to ignore the LotR books, for a long time, how long? many years and didn´t read it. So many people recommended it but... NO!
I ignore also why???!

Then the movies came out. I saw FotR and was overwhelmed!!
Not only because of PJ´s beautiful transformation, but of the story itself.
I love fantasy, I remember also the first Harry Potter film came to the movies about the same time, but I have read the Harry Potter book a long time(99) befor the movies! I love HP, it is a adorable bewitching fairy tale, but....nothing compared to LotR.
The profoundness..., the richness of storytelling...
I have see the firts movie and I started to read the books! And what a journey awaited me. I could beat myself now for not reading it sooner.
I wanted to know more about this wonderful man who was able to bring a whole new world to me. I have read the books now many times, and I read again regularly.
And I have read several books (biograpy particularly) in french, on Prof. Tolkien, have also read the Letters, and finaly especially I love also the art from and of Lotr, expecially from John Hove and Allan Lee.
I like make drawings and paintings about Lotr

It´s great of you all to open this forum and I hope I can find time to participate and posting regularly... even my bad english...
I wanted meet this wonderful man who was able to bring a whole new world to me : Pr. Tolkien!
I would say him how many I love the story and its philosophy which results from this ... In spite of the fact that I am French : I love you Pr Tolkien!
