On Mastermind last night, someone's specialist subject was "The life and works of JRR Tolkien".
I got as many right as she did (13) without having swotted up.
Maybe I am a geek...

Stupid question: why are Tolkien's fans considered geeks? I've become a Tolkien fan and I'm afraid to format my hard drive and install Windows alone.
