I'm sorry Mohram
I'm sorry for starting up the topic "Isn't Mohram stupid", its because you kept criticising me yesterday!
I am sorry if you are! p.s What are your views on the book "Farmer Giles"? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |

Oh, Mhoram. I just saw your other topic.
Actually the best apology to Mhoram would be to finally be the person who can discuss the following topic: Quote:

This thread is further proof that Mhoram's criticisms were well-founded.

Mho, you are inspiring me to pick up the Silmarillion for the first time since reading it in 1983. I'm thinking of starting a chapter by chapter discussion thread for the benefit of the Newcomers forum. Care to join me, Bungo? I've read the LotR between 25 and 30 times (I lost count a couple years ago) but the Silm lacked the continuity of plot to draw me back to it again and again in the same way. However, if I read one more "who had the coolest, shinest ring" "who was the smartest elf" thread I will go stark raving mad...

Farmer Giles was a fine little story, but nothing that holds an extended interest for me.

Mhoram-Ooh. Feel the chill.
Maril-Yeah, I understood all that. And as a matter of fact...Ok, no need to bluff. Am too tired.

I suspect Farmer Giles was very much a writing exercise for Tolkien. A trial run in the type of character and plot development he enjoyed, as opposed to the academic writing style he used most. You get cobwebby writing papers all the time. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lush, help yourself to one of those green bottles of yours and get some sleep. You've been tired all weekend. Someone once told me after a long test and study and debate period in Shedra (buddhist monastic college) "I think I broke my mind..." [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

That'd be great maril, and I fully empathize with the "Who's the coolest" thread thing. I'll be around to help/contribute if you go for it.

But the mischievious Maril, who reads all kinds of depraved subtext in the holy canon of Tolkien out of sheer flip frivolity, would be highly amused, no doubt. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
In that case I recommend these white pills - no, no! - they're called "Advil."

Marilea, that's such a basic topic - we could talk that one out in two seconds as opposed to doing really deep stuff like spamming the cr*p out of once-interesting threads. (I'm kidding! I'm kidding!) Actually I just bought the Silmarillion the other day, so far I've only read the tale of Beren and Luthien but intend to finish it as quickly as may be so I can finally develop opinions on topics like these. Reading those threads is sort of like listening to a language you don't fully know - it sends you back to your grammars and vocabulary books so you'll be able to join in.
Lush, I don't know about moral police...but I'm with you all the way. I didn't spend the weekend in the company of green bottles but after being dragged around by a couple of aunts for nine solid hours yesterday doing wedding shopping, I could really, really have used a few. I still needed the Advil, though, unfortunately.
