Alright. Let's get talking.

I've never been great at starting conversations, but I do know it helps to have something to talk about. So for all those who want to chat, feel free to jump in! I may even end up posting something like this regularly, who knows.

What do you folks think about Tom Bombadil?
(What the elf-mongering fuck is Tom Bombadil?)

He's such a tonal departure from the rest of the story that I almost have to think he's doing it on purpose.

Given his association with old, active woodlands, I'd be very interested in what the ents' take on him is. Are they even aware of him, or does he fall into the same blindspot as the hobbits? Does he know what's become of the entwives?
