Hi everybody! I've never been obsessed about anything in my life until I saw the LOTR for the first time just this past year. My husband watched Fellowship in the theater and thought I would hate it so I never saw it. Finally my mother begged me to see it and oh my goodness. The depth of the story hooked me. I am finishing the book and I love it almost as much as the movie.
It is hard to find anyone that shares my enthusiasm because the newness as warn off. Is there anyone out there that is a new "Ring Geek" like me?

Welcome here rivendweller!!! I'm not a new Ring Geek, but still love Tolkien. You may want to check out the Hall of Fire (Book Club). We are reading LotR and sharing our thoughts. Feel free to join in any discussions and even start a few of your own. Enjoy!  |

Hi rivendweller, mae govannen, as the Elves say.Well met and welcome to our little but dedicated Tolkien lovers forum. Please feel free to check out all the "Kingdoms", and like Eru said, don't miss the book club, I like that a lot. And I know you like the films, so go and check out the movie/actors section in the Kingdom of Rohan and Gondor.
Hope to see a lot of you and if you have any questions, just fire away. You can also send a staff member a personal message with a question if you feel more comfortable.
And Have Fun! The Shire Kingdon has all sorts of fun games related to Tolkien and his books, also about the movies as well, and that can sometimes be hilarious fun.
Take care

Welcome, Rivendweller! I'm a bit of a New Ring geek- the FotR came first for me, that is. I'm actually quite pleased to hear that there is still a contingency of people out there discovering Tolkien. I'm also excited to hear some perspective on the stories from someone reading them for the first time. Welcome!
Elen sila lumenn omentielvo,

First off, welcome to the site, rivendweller. Lol, who isn't LOTR-obsessed, even after the movies? XD You'll find yourself right at home here for that matter. Hope to see you around! ;D
