I enjoyed reading your answers very much!

I didn’t really speak to him until I saw him in the Student Union one afternoon with his copy of Fellowship of the Ring. We started up a conversation then and there.

My best friend and I met because I was reading The Silmarillion and he asked me what it was about. When I described the exquisite "creation" story based in Music and Song, he went out and read it, then read LOTR, then... We're still good friends 25 years later, because of that one encounter.

oooh, great answers!

And you must have KNOWN it was true love if your husband gave you The Hobbit as a present! :-)

Not only that, but when I opened it, the book automatically fell open to "Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fire", LOL! It was meant to be!

I love the changes you would have made to the movies. Pippin definitely should have had his troll!

[dreamflower]

That's my short list, LOL!

I start doing that, sometimes, and it sounds to people like I didn't like the movies, which is *far* from the truth. But script was definitely not one of their best points. And Merry and Pippin most certainly got shorted.

Excellent list on what you would have changed about the movies! My "short" list would have been a lot longer. Actually, I don't think I'm capable of making a short list! LOL! :P

So that's how to snag a guy - carry around LOTR with you everywhere you go. At the least, he'll be more understanding about the fan fic obsession. :D

*giggle* Well, as I've often said, the movies' strong points were visuals and score and casting.

I wonder what it would have been like if one of us (as in fanfic writers) had a chance at it...

Well, actually *he* was carrying *his* around. But he knew from the start that I was obsessed with LotR. He loves it, too. Just not quite as much as me, LOL!

Pippin should have had his troll!

That was my biggest complaint when I saw RotK.

Bookstore! Now that's a perfect date. *g*

[dreamflower]

*I* thought so! And even after we were married! Barnes & Noble was our favorite "date night" until we moved up here. But last weekend we discovered a "Hastings" in Stillwater, which I'd never heard of before, that seems sort of like a Barnes & Noble.

I don't know about *biggest* complaint, but it's certainly a major one for me--I think it would have been awesome if he'd killed that troll that was after Aragorn just before the Ring melted.
