And good morning to you, too, and all in the Inn.

I will try to avoid "spoiling" for those (Are there any? Apparently) who did not while away their adolesence wrapped between the covers of these books. I must have read them thirty times, put them down for twenty years, just saw the movie, and read it through again. I even love the appendixes (sp? appendi?)Oh, Just wait 'til you get to the part where....No! Never mind!

I imagine Middle Earth in the time of Aragorn's son's reign, Eregion florishing, and trees walking north of Bywater. The story continues on.

I think it is great that there are some who are just now reading it... it means that the story still goes on, as you say... There are still new hobbits being born, not just the ones that have lost their covers and gather dust on our shelves.
