About Me
Hello there! I'm Holdwine Meriadoc and I am an avid tolkienist from the U.S.A. I first started reading The Hobbit when I was nine, and two years later, after I told my dad that I had just finished listening to the audiobook for the fifth time, he decided to let me move on to The Lord of the Rings. I read the entire trilogy in about three months. Since then, I have been collecting a steady stream of Tolkien's works and companion books. My favorite character in all the legendarium is, as you can tell from my name, Meriadoc Brandybuck, not only because the book version of himself and myself are very similar but because I don't want him to be too "overlooked" (wink, wink). I am a fan of the movie trilogy, but I try not to get that and the real thing confused. I am just really mad that they didn't include Tom Bombadil. If you want to hear me rant, go to the Talk page. I love ranting...
