I am new to Tolkiens Forum and had a really difficult choice of whether to enter this thread or the fanatics thread. I have read the Lord Of The Rings one and a half times, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales and The Children of Hurin once. So I think I made the right choice as I think I would prefer to go at a leisurely pace rather than sprinting.
Also, I am a big fan of the Lord Of the Rings films directed by Peter Jackson(my fellow countryman) which led me to read the books and have become a fan especially of The Lord Of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Looking forward to some good discussions in this forum

I guess I am better late than never Welcome Bellandor In Sindarin Bell means "Strong in Body" an means "for" or "toward" and Dor is land, dwelling- place, region where certain people live. As in Dor-Lomin a region south of Hithlum.
So if you are looking for excitement, you come to the right place.
