Questions from listeners:

What DO Dwarf women look like? -- CHAPTER 13 The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion

Friends who like Lord of the Rings... help! I'm almost done reading The Fellowship of the Ring and am having trouble. When does something happen that draws the reader to the character? When does the singing stop? When does something of importance happen? I fully expected to like the books. Am I reading it wrong? Do I have too high of expectations? Why do so many people like it??

Why are all the names so similar?

Did the eye of Sauron ever have a physical body? And how did the eye come to exist

Why doesn't Samwise pay off Sauron with all the diamonds he got from Chester Copperpot's buried treasure?
