I'm a HUGE LotR fan (obviously). I've read the Silmarillion, the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings MANY times. I have most of the LotR video games, and I have medium sized collections of both the Decifer Card Game cards and the Strategy Battle Game miniatures.

My favorite characters are: Boromir, Sam, Gandalf, Durin's Bane, Glorfindel and most all of the other characters, but those especially.
