You know that Sue Tolkien wrote the Bath tube books with the foldable Balrog wings?
:devil:

Ah, sweet memory.

Hi Areanor! Hi Lidless!

Yes, the Bathtub Picture book was a towering achievement of literary ... uh ... achievement. So much better than those boring non-picture books. Way too many words in those!

:D

Lidless, that's part two of the thread.

weird - I looked for part one. I even found a link I gave in the second part on page 28, but now that link doesn't lead to "is the book as good as the movie - part one" - but to The Tolkien Estate????
http://www.tolkienestate.com/?catid=27&threadid=34092" target="_blank

?????? :scratch:

ahhhhhh. My very first post on TORC was in that first thread, started by Star-of-Hope (I miss Tigg, btw). And I am proud to say that I DID read all of the thread before posting in it somewhere on page 30something. And did I laugh my ass off then. :bow:

Your link was probably to the old domain name of tolkienonline.com, which the Tolkien Estate expropriated and had pointed to their own domain.

If, instead of clicking on the link, you copy the link into a word processor, and then replace the "tolkienonline.com" with "theonering.com" I think you should find the old thread.

If I'm correct, you might even want to edit your post to put the new link in.

Actually not, but this works:

Is the book as good as the movie?

:cheers:

Areanor, I made my first post in that thread too, well, the second version. The first thread was already closed by the time I showed up. I was such a n00b. But I did read the whole thing first. Hilarious. It's what convinced me to register. A classic.
