Absolutely love your collection. I laughed and was moved!
I can't even decide which collection I like best. (Though the B5 stuff is
marvelous).
Really terrific, I may have to appropriate my class quote from your list. I'll
let you know.

I was looking for a quote that could apply to human rights violations in
Afghanistan; instead, I lingered reading all of the quotes on your page.
Thought provoking and lovely. Thank you.

I have read the Hobbit series myself more than once and The Hobbit to
both my children and my nieces and nephew. They never seemed to tire
of it. At least once during the summer when we traveled together they
would beg me to read it to them. If I didn't finish on the trip, I
certainly had to finish it for my children when we got home. I even
"taught" The Hobbit a few years ago and was rewarded by a student
telling me pruodly that it was the first book she had ever read 'start
to finish'. The point?, you ask. I have very strong mental images of
the scenes and characters in the book(s) and have often been
disappointed at their rendering by artist who seem to have no feel for
the series. Your collection of the last homely house is refreshing and
makes me think not only of story, but also of the joy I had in sharing
those stories with my family. Corny, maybe, but I am glad you have
gathered this collection.

comment -- Last Homely House
This is an incredible web page. I am simply awed by its scope. I look forward
to spending a bunch of time here in the future. I have looked for this house
in my imagination for years and years. I never thought to find it in my
computer.
Maybe you could do some more music...(obiviously I am a musician) or some kind
communication thing that would be a combination of e-mail, apa, and chat for
your guests to the house. Its just a thought I had-probably impossible, though
after seeing what you have here I am not sure anything is impossible for you on
the computer....I love computers, but I often feel like the old dog trying to
learn new tricks.....I look forward to many more visits!!!

Thank YOU!
Have been looking for something more in line with the legends Mr. Tolkien so
eloquently placed in my memories and greatly appreciate your efforts. Again, I
thank you. ;)

Aaron,
I like your collection of quotes. I hope you don't mind if I add some
of them to my own collection?
What's more, I *really* like the philosophy behind your collection. It's
akin to mine. I've been collecting quotes for nigh on 30 years. The
collection is my personal eclectic Bible, growing and changing as I do.
Over the years, I've shared it with my bewildered friends and family: "Here,
if you want to know how and why I think and act the way I do, read this."
It usually leaves them even more confused than they were before, which
is the point -- to make them *think.*
Thanks for sharing - Tom

Dear Aaron,
All I can say is I love it all and this is the best site I have seen
that show off the features of The Last Homely House in Imladris. I am a
player on ELENDOR MUSH
Thanks for all the hard work you put into this for those at visit.

Your list of quotations caused me much mirth, quiet contemplation, and the
recognition that there are more than one or two kindred spirits out there!
A great collection. Thanks. I shall be passing these on...
Your good health,

Hi Aaron, I recently stumbled across the Last Homely House during a
late night surf, and I have to say it is quite probably the best
page/set of pages I have seen so far on the web. Well organized, good,
solid links and plenty of character. It definately feels like a
"resting place" for the weary web traveller, as well as providing links
to many other interesting tools. (The Library was a BIG wow!)
Keep up the great work.

Hi, Aaron,
I want to thank you for your delightful website. I live in Chickaloon, Alaska, in a log cabin on 30 wooded acres. no indoor plumbing, wood heat, a lake for fishing and mountains all around. Today, asI was walking along the ridgetop behind the house, I saw a brown bear, a Bald eagle, and a porcupine. I'm happier than I've ever been, because i live a peaceful life here........
and I have full internet access. (pretend those last three words are flashing, with lights all around)
I, too, enjoy F&SF. Occasionally, the Rural Alaskan Television Network (RATNET) uses their sat link to bring in the FOX network. We get X-Files and Babylon 5.
I like B5. the Star Trek spin offs just piss me off.
The last fantasy film I thought was worth the price of admission was Excalibur.
I'm very picky about people using Tolkein references, but your place, I think, does the old man proud.
Thank you,
PatB

Greetings!
Happy to have found Elrond's LLH...he may have deaprted the Havens...but we who remain are always relieved to find the house and in good care!
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 1995 05:12:52 GMT
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best source anywhere on the
net that I have found is your LHH. I've found more links
to more interesting places here than anywhere.
Important note: don't stop! I lost my link and could not
find it for a few weeks. when I got it back, I made special
effort to keep it handy.
I may or may not have mailed you stuff but anyway, please
accept my deepest thanks for putting this page on the net.

Aaron,
I'm a pretty antisocial person, spending most of my time reading books,
browsing the web, or out jogging in the woods. I was thus a little
surprised when I read over some of your pages and discovered that we have
much in common. Because I'm not very social I tend to think I'm
particularly different from all the people I see walking down the street or
in class. It's somewhat disconcerting to recognize oneself in another, and
at the same time it is nice to know there are people out there with the
same interests. You are a lot more positive than I, a bit brighter, and
definitely more sensitive. From looking at my web pages
(http://www.webcom.com/~joe/) you can't at all tell that we have anthing in
common, but I really think we do.
Anyway, I try to give feedback when I stumble across good pages. Your own
www works were what I mostly appreciated. You are the only person I've
come across on the web so far who has collected more quotes than I have!
Great quotes. And I like your reading tastes too. As soon as I finish up
school I plan to read more science fiction.
Good luck to you in the future!
Take care,
joe

Hi there Aaron,
I suppose that after having been on the Cool Site of The Day and
on Spider's Web pick of the day, there isn't much I can say about the Last
Homely House, except that I loved it!!!!! There are so many links and so
much excellent stuff to be found there, plus the Tolkien motif doesn't
hurt things any either. I also read your favorites list (had to know what
makes a guy like you tick) and your favorites are so close to mine it is
scary. My only pickiness would be about not putting Pratchett on the list
of the best, but hey, that's personal taste for you. In any case. the
House is terrific. Keep up the amazing work!!!!

Aaron, I have to say, I'm impressed. I've been
bopping around the net for a while now, and the setup
you came up with is really incredible. The house's rooms
allow for so many possibilities.
Anyway... good job!

Just a note of appreciation for your quotes, which made
for an inspiring read this morning.... If you have no
objections I'd like to share your collection with my
students in a freshman writing class next fall (I'm going
to set up a Mosaic page for them and would like to
include this URL.) Thanks, Bryan Pfaffenberger (prof at

I just thought I'd drop a line to say that I really like
the Last Homely House. It really succeeds in being a nice
cozy place on the web, and the links to other places are
good too.
I've added a link to your place from my home page.

Aaron, your WWWHomePage is very worthy of its name; I
found it a joy to browse in, and expect to return to it
whenever I have time.
Nice to virtually meet you; thank you for inviting me
into your home[ly house]
