Although I am almost twice your age, I, too, remember the first time I read The Lord of the Rings-it was on a summer reading list. I plan to check out your website and applaud your dedication.

I am a massive gandulf follower and I think he's the best wizard around.

Thank you so much for the comment on the post pertaining to screen time for "The Five Battles". When I thought of that subject, I had you in mind. I literally checked it everytime I was online. Thanks for your thoughts friend!

It is always nice to discuss with you Scubau! It also gives me personal pleasure and it is always nice to see your intelligent reactions! It teaches me a lot!

Thanks for the intelligent lively discussion. It helps educate those on this blog.

Wow Gandalf, that's an impressive Tolkien collection! I'm envious! A beautiful cabinet to house it too. You've named yourself after my favourite character. Gandalf has been my No. 1 hero since I first read The Hobbit at 13. I will have a look at your website.

@ M&O Niets beter dan elkaar begrijpen!
@ xenio The Hobbit was translated to Serbian already in 1983... and has seen many reprints since then! http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/translations/hobbits/index.htm for more Hobbit translations!
@ Faramir, my English is not so good either! I'm normally speak Flemish!
@ Fëanor, well it is! Hope to do the same... soon!

Altijd leuk om een buurman te ontmoeten
(Always nice to meet a neighbour)

I am really impressed. Well I am a great fan of LOTR and Middle-earth,so of Tolkien. By the way, do you know or have The hobbit translated to Serbian.? I saw one in Belgrade with Lee's illustrations but pretty expensive for me (considering my wage is about 200 euros here in Serbia, very very sad and poor). How can I have that one and how much that might cost?Thanks in forward. Later I will visit your site.On my picture behind me is the huge map I have made . It took me about two months (not effectively).But your work is more than masterpiece.

My goal is to retire in Belgium in peace and quiet with my Tolkien books? Is that a worthy goal?
