Tolkien and his wife actually had "Beren and Luthien" written on their gravestones... I thought that was really touching... :'( I actually cried for real! :(

Not yet, but I really want to! My parents probably wouldn't care, but when I'm on my own I WILL get there. :P

yeah me too. I think it's a wonderful idea.

I'd have loved to visit Tolkien's grave during my holidays in England, but my family didn't wanna go :(
