Jump right in! Josiah is one of the brighter lights of my life. Just the other night (alluding to your post, now, in the Tolkien & Religion thread), we were talking about how Jesus said, "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends," and how Boromir did exactly that.

You were blessed with your dad in that way. I love and miss my Dad very much, but he shared almost none of my literary tastes.

Happily, my wife is a big fan, and was long before we met (as was I). We're on about our 4th read-through for our marriage. She was critical after her first viewing because of the changes and omissions, but now is a 6-timer and such a big fan that she successfully bid for the complete set of LOTR action figures on E-Bay.

For herself, not the boys! (c8
