LOL--no, not in the J.R.R. Tolkien sense. I had to go to the Health Center and drop something off, then I came home. Waiting for the bus, I saw that there was a reminder about an appointment (also at the Health...

ME!!! I mentioned in a previous post that I'd been entering magazine prize draws online and seems it's all been worth it. I received a notification that I've won a DVD of the movie Tolkien. Couldn't have been better. Adam...

Fantasy Book Review – Mary Gentle – Grunts

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 21 Dec 17

Spoiler alerts - 1992 Bantham Press. Despite her name this Mary is far from Gentle. Grunts is one of the most violent and fortunately deliciously funny fantasy novels ever written. There have been several parodies of...

Take A Wild Guess What I Just Found!

Donald Pennington @Iquestionitall (229) • United States 17 Jun 17

It's so good when I find a free book to read - and it's not a bible or bible-related. I don't often read fiction but (as fans know) Tolkien has a style and voice of his own. His books read like those stories I wish my...

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 10 Jul 16

I know there are several pubs based around this intriguing Lancashire legend but this was the first one I have seen and my primary reason for choosing Ashton-In-Makerfield for my latest pub sign walk. The story concerns the...

Jack Reacher Vs. The Hobbit??

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 5 Jan 13

I went yesterday to see Jack Reacher. I have read several of the Reacher series by Lee Child and found the movie satisfactory. Today I took my grandsons to see the Hobbit. They had read all of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings works....

The Lord Of The Rings - Greatest story ever told?

Lucy Leyshon @RaineLockheart (219) 29 Nov 12

J.R.R. Tolkien created the greatest story I have ever read/watched. I much prefer Middle Earth to OUR Earth. Although it was said that our Earth WAS Middle Earth in a time long since forgotten...And although we know that's not...

The Hobbit movie responsible for the death of 27 (?) animals

katie0 @katie0 (5203) • Japan 21 Nov 12

As a Vegan I think the movie is not Vegan anymore, I was so shocked they allowed 20 something animals to die needless deaths. They claim to be a Tolkien fan but that's proven not to be truth. J.R.R.TOLKIEN WAS KIND TO LIVING...

Stephen King's 'Gunslinger' Series

sheilanewton @sheilanewton (58) 25 Apr 12

i reckon that Stephen King's Gunslinger Series is his best work ever. I can even compare it favourably to the 'Lord of the Rings' by Tolkien. The characters, the descriptions of person and place, the plots, the sub-plots - are...

Favorite Lotr site

katie0 @katie0 (5203) • Japan 1 Nov 11

For me I think it's http://tolkiengateway.net/ now because of many crazy questions that I had for Lotr I got the answer in there. There's also The Encyclopedia of Arda, Concil of Elrond but this is by far the best. The Concil is...

I was mad at him a long time ago cause I was imature and couldn't understand him. Now reading fanfiction and even putting myself in his shoes I understand why he acted the way he did. Think how hard it must be to be carring...
