Lissi, I am shocked! Here I thought I had found a true Tolkien devotee, when to my utter amazement, you approve of those Peter Jackson abominations. How can you do this and hold up your head? The rest of us LOtR fans may have to penalize you. By the way, this audio reading I have fallen in love with is done by Robert Englis. It is available at all reputable book sellers. The books go for 'round $30 each. Grab, and enjoy! ----- Original Message ----- From: Amy Goldring Tajalli To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 1:59 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Tolkien To all would be Inklings, How can any of you refer to Tolkien and Elijah Wood in the same sentence let alone as related in any way. It obviously was not his fault as he did not write that abomination of a screenplay and he did his best with what he was given as did other actors but it is a shame that JRR was too much of a gentleman to ever haunt the writers/ producers/ directors/etc. of that abomination. One look was enough and I gave all 3 tapes to someone who had not read LOTR as everyone I know who had wanted no part of them.
