one moment I`ll check...*Sheryl checks*...sorry hun! I`ve left the precious in school!
Hey I can’t help it....I am at the chapter of The King of the Golden Hall or something....but I just can’t be here during the summer so much because I have a lousy computer that is to slow for this website......
I am sorry Sheryl for stressing you....I didn’t mean to do that....
I am sorry

I am sorry
Maybe Sheryl, unlike the rest of us, actually has a life besides Tolkien! 
And the books should not be rushed through, take the time you need to read and enjoy them. This is no competition you know!

I know....it was not that what I meant Amari’.....I meant that I am sorry that I am such a speedy reader that she cannot keep up.....we were supposed to read together...I dedicated this thread to give her support through the books
If there was something she didn’t understand she could only ask....

What on Earth are you talking about Amari’? A life besides Tolkien?! That's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard. Maybe Sheryl, unlike the rest of us, actually has a life besides Tolkien!
What is this life, I hear you talking about?
That`s ok Aule, I may be a very good reader but I haven`t got very much time these days to read, I`m lucky to even get 1 chapter done.
Ok....but I don’t understand you Amari’.....there is no life beyond Tolkien.....beyond Tolkien is just The Void!!
My family keeps trying to bring me back to the world beyond Tolkien.
Don't let them do it Mellie! They're evil, EVIL I SAY!!! 
Run Mellie!!!
They are trying to take you to The Void!!!
They are trying to take you to The Void!!!
I stand corrected.
Sheryl, I'm so sorry I accused you of having a life outside Tolkien. There is of course no such thing. Once touched by Tolkien, ME is in your heart and will never leave you, for true belivers the Void is no longer a threat. We can spend time there to greet out loved ones still trapped in the fake world outside Tolkien, and try to show them the right path. We have seen the Real World and the matrix.. err the Void has no longer a hold of us! We are freeeee!!!
So don't worry Mellie. Spend time with your family. You know the way back to us. Step into the darknes for in truth you carry the Light in your heart and Elbereths stars will gide the way. Halleluja!

STOP GETTING ON SHERYL ON NOT READING THE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND I'LL STOP YELLING!!!!
Why make a whole forum on nagging Sheryl to read LoTRs?! She should enjoy it,and if she doesnt then what would be the point of spending time on something she does not want to do or is to busy for at the moment,she has a life outside of Tolkien!
BTW, I read LoTRs when I was 10 years old
I am going to read them again though....

Naw, Dragon-reach and FrogBoy are nice people too. ( I think I spelled their names wrong though.) Quote:

Mellie just corrected Grondy's spelling of my family's nicknames.

sry Aule. Haven`t had time to read them. I`m trying to, but I haven`t got enough time, I`m trying to read some of it in school as well...
No, my family is not evil, just lost, and don't understand how easy it is to get taken away by the world of Middle Earth.
Yes you are correct Amarie. I do know my way back here, and really miss it when I can't be here.

sry Aule, as I said, I haven`t got the time... I`ll start reading them again when I go back 2 school, I think...
I`ll start reading them again when I go back 2 school, I think...Hang on a mo, since when have our lazy arse british teachers started giving out homework at summer holidays. They can't be bothered to mark them when they're at work, why bother making work for them selves, so that they're almost doing as much work as a unemployed person. (Sorry but I'm sick of teachers complaining, my antie and some of my friends are teachers, all they do is complain that they only get ’22,000.00 plus 12 week holiday and how their work is hard. Rubbish, the average wage is ’14,000.00 and four weeks holidays.)
I agree with you Ross, I mean, wot`s the point of homework, the only homework I think we should be given is rivision for tests. I mean, we get given homework most of the time when we`re doing tests as well as having to do revision! 
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!
If any1 here is a teacher, I have noting against you coz ur not the one that has a say in whether we get homework or not or anything like that... So plz don`t take it the wrong way.
I`m not going to far into this coz it`ll become political. K, so we`ll leave at that.

A little homework per school night is good as long as the teachers coordinate that they keep it down to about one hour total per night and never more than two hours worth. Friday's assignments should be short that the students can get some sleep Sunday night instead of staying up late finishing their homework which never gets started until then, speaking from experience. 
While I have the soapbox: The best math/arithmatic home work is about ten problems, where three cover new material, and the rest are review problems from the earlier chapters all the way to the front of the book. After keeping up with this homework, all exams are a cinch, as none of the material becomes stale.
Miss Celia Klotz (her real name) may have been a grey haired, dumpy, old maid, but this was her method and by golly if you did her home work you got through her class. Of course 40 % of your grade was based on your homework, 40 % on weekly quizes, and 10 % each on the midterm and final exams. And those quizes and exams each covered all the material we had covered up to that date.
I had 2nd Semester Trigonometry and First Semester Calculus from her and wanted to take Second Semester Calculus from her, but she didn't teach that one so I had to learn it from another professor who wasn't as good, but by then I had pretty good study habits so I pulled through.
This rant is over; so enjoy the rest of your Summer vacation and forget about school.

I have loads of homework coz I`m one of the brightest kids in the year, we got loads of algebra! YUCK! I hate algebra, I can do it though, it`s quite easy, well sum of it is.
I once got to read the silm instead of watching a film version of Romeo and Juliet. My teacher was into Tolkien and was pleased I was reading his greatest work. Then she quizzed me on his works at the back of the classroom, whilst everyone else had to watch a rather dull and boring film. Haha, the geek will always out.
Sheryl, im starting school again and I tell you that im busy as well.But I still have time to read!
But Sheryl,when can wee start?*puppy eyes*

I do have time to read yes, I mean, I`ve been through 6 books in the last week, but I think I`ll attempt LOTR when I`m a little older...I`m into the teen boks at the moment.
Feawen, u can start reading them, we don`t have to read them together. Ok? Don`t let me hold u back from reading them.

Wise decision Sheryl....wait until you are older to read a heavy book as LoTR(not implying that you cannot read magnificient books like LoTR at that age)
Just keep up schoolwork and become cunning in alot of areas
Ta-ta!
