Kiwi Farms

As of writing this OP (25 March), it is Tolkien Reading Day!

There hasn't been a general thread for Tolkien, and I'm very sure there are fellow kiwis out here who are wonderful fans of the Professor's works. So feel free to sperg from Aman to Beleriand about the books and adaptations.
On the subject of adaptations, if you're interested in the upcoming Amazon Prime series, this thread will cover you on it.
