We're all learning together! It's a wonderful experience, sharing Tolkien with other fans. We'd be so very boring on our own, annoying our non-Tolkien friends and frightening our families. (Well, ok, I do that anyway, but this really helps.)

I seriously doubt there will ever be a time when I can stop actively learning more about Tolkien. It's kinda like being a grad student, but without the long hours or the weird professors.

I'm enjoying reading these threads. I'm gonna have to re-read the trilogy with some of all y'all's thought in mind!
