   Face it: most of us are interested in LOTR and it's relations.  I _know_   
   Tolkien's translation of Jonah, but I really couldn't care less about   
   discussing it (and frankly, I have my doubts that there could be much to   
   discuss that wasn't in the commentary in the /Jerusalem Bible/ that I had   
   before my dog ate it...  /Sigurd and Gudrun/ interests me somewhat less.
