Re: Fellowship For Aristotle & Tolkien
I felt that the author might have just finished watching the movie on Tolkien (like I just did recently) and thought of the title's pun and wrote something to give it justice! 
The substance of it isn't very deep though as its three-way description of what defines a 'friend' is too fuzzy. I also thought it odd to have thought of comparing the strong 'friend' bond as 'gay' when it completely overlooked ones' spousal relationships or familiy bonds as relevant.
