National Advertising Center Hi, I'm Lisa and I work for National Advertising Center. My co-workers and I decided to start a book club at work. We're starting with the theme of books that were turned into movies. It's proved successful so far. We just finished reading the Lord of Rings Trilogy. There is so much to be said for reading it. We've all seen the movies but there is only so much detail the movies can put in. I think I was clueless about much of the plot having just watched the movie. Its on to the Hobbit next.

A book club at work sounds like fun. You are right, there is so much more to the books over the movies. Though I like them both for different reasons. I hope that you have reviewed the TOS for this website and that you will feel comfortable getting out and posting with us. Give us a chance to know you and you to know us. We are a fun sort of coconuts. Do you have any questions? Hope to see you on the boards, Cheers, rwhen

Mae Govannen Lisa!! Welcome to the boards. I think that your having a book club at your work place is very cool. I am glad to see that you enjoyed the Professors work enough to read the Hobbit as well. Come on in and make yourself at home and if you have any of the others you work with that wish to come in and join as well, that you encourage them to do so. Yes as Rwhen said we are a lovely bunch of nuts here.

Welcome on TORC, Lisa! Hope to see you participate in the discussions about Tolkien's works here as well.

MoME 2009 is over. Congratulations to the winners!

The Sons of Fëanor re-embodied in the beginning of the Fourth Age? Yes, for The Maedhros and Tygarya Saga – and, as fire-hearted as ever!

On my way to Minas Tirith on the Walk to Rivendell and Beyond !

Hail and well met, Lisa Roberts. So, what are your favourite parts of the books that didn't make it into the movie?
