....I would be more impressed if Mr.K actually attempted to demonstrate that he possessed some knowledge of Tolkien. Anyone on an anonymous internet forum can claim to have read LOTR 40 times; people who have actually read LOTR 40 times, however, can talk endlessly about arcane details of Middle Earth, and they don't mock those who are similarly inclined and learned in the subject material.

Yes I have read them at least that many times, and even bought a gold edge $65 copy (15 years ago that was a lot of money) for my son and read it to him when he was 5.

And no I cannot name a single character (except the main ones) by heart, just because I dont want or need to memorize it, I just enjoy reading it. Especially the giant worms.
