I will never forget the first time I read “The Lord of the Rings”. I started reading this book when I lived in the dorms at UC Santa Cruz. I started on a Friday after classes (and studying) and finished the entire book late Sunday afternoon. Most of my friends thought I was having some sort of psychotic break as I only showed myself for mealtimes and to shower and brush my teeth. My girlfriend at the time wasn’t entirely pleased with me and developed an intense dislike for Professor Tolkien.
From there, I graduated to the earlier world of the First, Second, and early Third Ages of Middle-Earth courtesy of Professor Tolkien’s son Christopher. I am starting to post photos of my book collection (which I hope will become more impressive over the years), my thoughts on these writings, and, hopefully, your thoughts also.
