I feel as though I've been in love with this saga all my life. This was my first time reading it in English and it helped me fully appreciate Tolkien's mastery. He had a beautiful way with words. I totally forgot (or, perhaps, missed) how well he writes creepy atmospheres. The passing through Moria was so eerie!

I spend so much time rambling about my love of Tolkien, I feel as though I have nothing new to say here. His words and his worlds are my favorite.
