Has read Lord Of The Rings 2,589 times and can discuss, in great length and detail, every single detail of the book and, from memory, can easily recite the names of every character ever mentioned in the book, as well as tell you their family lineage and what they had to eat on page 349. They can also speak Elvish, but otherwise, do not speak a second language (other than a smattering of Klingon).
