"At long last, it's OK to speak Elvish in public"
"It hasn't always been this easy to be a Tolkien fan.
For most of my young-adult and adult life, people tended to look at me sidelong should I happen to mention that I had read "The Lord of the Rings" several times - OK, pretty much once a year since I got my first copies when I was in the fifth grade. Boyfriends especially would grow suddenly still, their eyes wildly scanning the walls for the nearest exit should I suddenly whip out my faux hobbit feet or start speaking in Elvish."
