What made me laugh was that he was marking an exam paper and he thought up the first line of the book.
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit".
How ironic!

J.R.R.Tolkien is really one of the greates authors ever because he created a world that looks so real and historical! I love his wiritngs, he's really my favourite author and I think the world will remeber it as one of the greatest authors and the greatest fantasy author.

and when he messed up, he couldn't only change the messed up pieces, he had to go and rewrite the book over!
With that going on it's a wonder he finished them in 12 years

I'll bet he wanted to strangle the publishers for screwing up his works, changing around the languages so much!!

Christopher Lee was the only member of the cast to have actually MET Tolkien... bet there was some jealousy because of that!

thats right - he met him and he apparently had Tolkiens blessing to play Gandalf!!! I think he suited being Saruman more though - he has that kinda "evil genius/criminal mastermind" look about him.... xTx |
