At my 25th-year high school reunion, Dr. Peter Gordon, my best friend from grade school, said, regarding the John Ronald Reuel Tolkien fans he encountered through the years: “They’d tell me they’d read all the books, and they knew Tolkien. And I’d think to myself, ‘You say you know Tolkien … but can you write the language?'”
