[Magdalen] The Force Awakens

[Jay Weigel]

It was Peter Jackson, but yeah. (Quailing at the thought of what might have
happened to it if Michael had got hold of it!)

I read LOTR in 1965. I remember it well, because I took three weeks out of
my life to do it. Any time I wasn't working or doing something else, I was
sitting with my nose in some volume of that trilogy. It accompanied me
everywhere I went. When I finally finished it, I took awhile getting out of
Middle Earth and I wasn't sure I wanted to.
