Happy little geek am I.

Got Unfisnished Tales and Tree and Leaf. *happy geekette.* The latter has an essay on fairytales which I'm now reading, and it does sound interesting. Won't touch UT until I've finished the Silmarillion.

And two books about Tolkien and Lord of the Rings, which Mel said I should be careful in reading because books like those tend to leave out important things, (like him being a Roman Catholic, or that the Professor didn't like allegories). Especially when they have got their own grande theories.

Re-reading it. :P

Of course I have. I wouldn't call myself a Tolkien-geek if I hadn't read it.

(Then again I haven't read HoME either yet, so I wouldn't call myself a really knowledgeable geek.)
