[thechat] LoTR question

[Luther, Ron]

Or ... if you want to get more into the philological spirit ...

Pick up an old copy of the Elder Edda.

(Who vaguely remembers bringing Humphrey Carpenter in to speak to my 'Hobbit-buds' in Cleveland ... probably around the time the book came out back in '77.)

(No - I wasn't smart enough back then to get him to autograph a copy for me.)

For fans of The Hobbit, LoTR, et al who haven't already, I suggest picking
up a biography of the old philologist.  It certainly increased my
appreciation of his accomplishments.  I recommend "Tolkien" by Humphrey
Carpenter
