How many Lord of the Rings fans (of the book, thank you!) are on Eharmony Advice?


Would anyone be interested in engaging in (book-only) trivia?

Only if the argument centers around whether balrog wings taste more like chicken wings or buffalo wings.

The book Lord of the Rings is much better than the movies.


If watching the movies of Lord of the Rings is like eatinga McDonalds hamburger, the book is like a grade A steak.

And that's not to say that the movies aren't good. Professor Tolkien was a genius...

Tolkien would have been appalled at the movies; Jackson took far too many liberties with the motivations and personalities of the characters, plot points, and themes of the story.


The book is delightful--Tolkien spent about 20 years of his life writing Lord of the Rings.


Jackson? Not so much.

I'll start the trivia game. Who said:


“O great glory and slendour! And all my wishes have come true!”?


Rules:


1) All quotes must come from the book, not the movie.


2) The first person to correctly name the speaker of the quote gets to post the next quote.
