Tolkien in General

You'll certainly enjoy it. It's a tall tale and full of bathos. It's not often I laugh aloud while reading something. I'm now reading Leaf by Niggle, which is in the same volume and is a very different thing altogether.

Leaf by Niggle is different, but I like it. Most people read it as autobiographical.

Hey, all! It's a great day at Middle-earth Journeys! There's a nice question in the trivia thread, waiting for a beginner, maybe, to answer. There is some wonderful poetry about Gandalf in the members' art thread, and a very informative Great Years Calendar post about the history of the White Tree.

Well done, everyone!

September at Marquette! This looks good--

I read a paper by Segura a few years ago, and it was insightful and very readable. Praise be to Marquette for their own-going Tolkien studies!

Happy Birthday, dear Bilbo and Frodo! May you live forever!

And happy fall to all!

Tonight I shall raise my glass to Bilbo and Frodo and drink to their long life (right now it's too early), but for now I'll just say Happy Birthday!

I raise my glass to Frodo, Bilbo, and their creator--but not to fall: I'm in mourning for summer and in dread of winter.. Maybe if I listen to my LOTR audio books. . . .

Happy Birthday Bilbo and Frodo!

It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door…You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Happy Birthday to Middle-earth Journeys Too!

We had a birthday this past week also. On 17 September, we were one year old!

Thanks to all who have made Middle-earth Journeys such a great place to visit. We are a little quieter than we had envisioned, maybe, but I think we make up for it in depth. There have been a lot of really fine contributions here this year. I hope I'm not being immodest when I say that some of what we have done is better than some of what was presented at the Oxford conference! Really! Well done, everyone.

I think I agree, especially when I see what you all come up with for the wonderful Great Years Calendar!
