Public Research: Field of Study - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Have you started studying something because of your love for Tolkien? Were there subjects you would not have been interested in if not for him? The selection is made upon my notion of what fields Tolkien may have driven a man to, but option ‘other’ is provided for cases not covered by the poll. Please explain yourself in the thread in this latter case (and in others, if you feel you should).

I understand that 'other' and 'nothing' are things quite apart. Inclusion into one option was forcible, for lack of entries available. Thank you for your understanding

Study is not restricted to 'official' (e.i. at some University of School) study per se, but includes your private ventures into the fields as described too.

Multiple choice is allowed
