Indeed, but I wonder if Japanese would translate English fantasy novel names, or if they would transcribe them as pronounced, using Katakana.
My understanding of Japanese is good enough, as long as I'm not required to talk with someone older than 3 or 4 years old or thereabout, but I think it wouldn't be sufficient to go check out LotR in Japanese
