I'm not very religious, but when they sing Amazing Grace, it always kind of breaks me up, it's a hauntingly beautiful melody. I thought it must be Baptist in origin, but my twin brother, who was also there, thinks it's Scottish. I believe I have heard it on bagpipes. Do any of you musical types know it's history? My neice thinks it's so beautiful, she's insisting it be sung at her wedding, which may raise a few eyebrows...
Took me awhile to catch up on all the posts, that Harry Potter thread had some humerous aspects.
No we will not expect you to read the whole flippin' thing! We post minor and major LoTR news and events here... and on other days we just chit chat. Bookmark it!
The Robinsons have given us a TOPIC called The Hobbit Hole (And we are on the FR main page as a "daily") You can add this topic to your sidebar if you like, and then you will know when a new LoTR thread is posted!
Other than this thread, there is one other ongoing thread at the moment:
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Movie Spy Reports and Spoilers thread) ^

Beyond this point there be spoilers! Like spoilers? – Keep reading! Don't want spoilers? – Click HERE and don't look back! Don't say we didn't warn you! Spoilers are what this thread is all about. So bring your rumors (substantiated or not!), spoilers, spy reports, and bones of contention about them here as the snippets of TTT news, photos and interviews come rolling in. I wouldn't even recommend pinging people to this thread unless you know they want to see them. There are a lot of purists out there that hate to have anything given away before the movie...
We are about to start up a chapter-by-chapter reading group for The Two Towers to help us pass time till the movie... If you are interested in reading through in a book discussion thread let me know! We did the same thing for FoTR and just finished a few weeks back (Lord of the Rings Discussion Group (The Green Dragon Inn) II)... if you want to see what the thread was like)
