1) Male 2) USA 3) English 4) Books: HOB, LOTR, SIL, UT, TOM, RG, MR, WJ, PME, Farmer Giles of Ham, Smith of Wootton Major, Leaf by Niggle, The Letters of JRR Tolkien (what--you haven't read ALL of his books?) 5) Movies: HOBA, LTRA, FRM, TTM, RTKM 6) No recordings 7) I saw the animated Hobbit when I was 14. Then I read HOB and LOTR after that. I wish I hadn't seen the film because until I saw PJ's films I imagined hobbits as fat little curly-headed goofballs--kind of like the "It's Pat" character on Saturday Night Live. And orcs were all fat bipedal pigs with horns. 8) Everything in English 9) I like the books the most. PJ's films annoyed me more than they enthralled me. So it goes. I'm going to hold off on why I like the books, Tolkien, etc. I'm still working that out. I know, I know--the surveyor won't/can't fully answer his own survey. |
