Jenn, I loved returning to our exchange last year about Tom Bombadil as a mushroom, and it took me back to what his deep connection to the land represents in *The Fellowship of the Ring*. So fun...gi. I'll show myself out as well :-)

I officially lost at “he’s a fun guy.” 🤣

Truly fascinating take. I have to share this with my friends at dinner this weekend…it will make for an interesting meal discussion!

Really enjoyed this. I have to admit that, as a latecomer to the stories, I struggle with the Tom Bomb section, but I am trying learn to appreciate it. Ha! This definitely helped. I am also currently reading LOTR to my oldest and was afraid I'd lose her in that chapter, but we just finished and she's still interested. :)

This one was great! Lot's for me personally to ponder here. Paul Stamets is an interesting fella for sure.
