Are there abridged and unabridged copies of the books? (Preview) Are there abridged and unabridged copies of the books? I finally got a kindle and I was wondering which editon to buy.	vestalmiss	3	4136	May 10, 2011 by John Wain
The Qualities of Aragorn (Preview) All, There is a thread in this section of the Forum about Aragorn titled "More than just a man." There his qualities and his histories are covered threaded through out the books and appendices. It seemed that to most Aragorn was more "superman" than man. I would like to revive pi...

Istari (Preview) About a week ago I was confronted with this question by my friend. Can you help me out and get an answer for him... How many Istari are there? When I later asked him what Istari were he said, Wizards, is that correct? ~Prince of Mirkwood	Prince of Mirkwood	36	5383	Nov 19, 2009 by Galin
Poor Legolas... (Preview) I remember we recently had a poll asking which member of the Fellowship achieved the least. I am not sure which answer received most votes, but anyway, I just thought I would give you Tolkien's view on this. "Legolas probably achieved least of the Nine Walkers."

Power (Preview) Who has more power; Wizards,Gandalf in particular, or the Witch King? Are the powers balance between them evenly? ~Prince of Mirkwood	Prince of Mirkwood	6	1723	May 3, 2007 by Prince of Mirkwood
Trouble with Gollum (Preview) If there is any part of the book(s), that I have trouble with, it's the books with Frodo, Sam and Gollum all by there lonesome. It's probably because Gollum is such a slimy creature, and you know what he's going to do, that I just wish he'd get squashed by a Balrog. Anybody else feel that way?

Hmm...wait a sec...??? (Preview) Ok, I have just found another strange contradiction in LOTR. Here is what Gandalf says to Legolas: "Treebeard is Fangorn, the guardian of the forest; he is the oldest of the Ents, the oldest living thing that still walks beneath the Sun upon this Middle-earth. " Ok, so Gandalf, which is the...	The Might	33	2218	Oct 3, 2006 by The Might
What did they see? (Preview) My question is what have Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas seen in the night they slept near Fangorn? And here I refer to the old man in a cloak not to the tree near them, so please don't bring that tree in the discussion. "Suddenly Gimli looked up, and there just on the edge of the fire-light stood an old bent...	The Might	28	2288	Sep 1, 2006 by The Might
