I was in denial forever about Gandalf's "death"
But I sorta was starting to accept it. One bad thing though is that i read very slow, so it was bout 1 week later that I actually figured out what happened to him. And good thing. Down with Sauroman! Hey bram, thats a great story about you and gandalf. You never told me that before! |

You never asked :-).
*sighs* I have so many good memories of my first time reading LOTR ... there were times I dreamt I was walking down a great road with trees knowing that something was following me, making me afraid, knowing that that something was a ringwraiths *shivers* Oh the memories. |

the first time i read the LOTR i hoped Gandalf would return. what i did not know at the time was that he would be in spirit and much more powerful. he like most of the main characters grew in stature and promise. the quest brought out the best in them as their best was needed time and time again. gandalf was so central to the entire story, the above change in him only intrigued me more as i continued to read.

I feel as though there has never been a time when I have not known how the story goes, even though I didn't discover Tolkien until I was 8 or 9. However, I vaguely recall not being at all worried about Gandalf's fall when I first read the Fellowship. Odd, that. Maybe the idea of Gandalf being defeated and permanently gone was just too unrealistic for me to take seriously.
