j.r.r. tolkien

This interview with a current fantasy author (posted in another thread as well) about what his experiences growing up with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe started me thinking about world-building. Some fantasy authors spend a lot of time creating their alternative worlds--everything has to...

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place. I wasn't sure if it belonged here or the Duffer forum, but I thought I might get a better response here. Does anyone know of a good LOTR/Tolkien fan site/forum? Something like this forum? I've been looking, but I can't find anything.

Considering that there are so many things to be learned from the Narnian world, I thought LOTR might teach a similar number... 1. Don't spend your life studying evil, even to defeat it, or it will defeat you (i. e. Saruman). 2. You're safest in your hobbit-hole. 3. Hairy feet are good for...

I decided I'd start a thread here for another book by Tolkien, that isn't LOTR or the Hobbit. Any rate has any one here read hsi Father Christmas letters? It's a really neat collection of letters from "Father Christmas" that Tolkien wrote to his children. It's amazing to read as you can even...

I just finished reading the magician's nephew and noticed a similarity between it and JRR Tolkein's Silmarillion (LOTR). If anyone hasn't read it, it is basically the history of middle earth from the very beginning. Anywho, the beginning of Narnia was the result of Aslan singing correct? Well in...

Where can I find the sheet music for this song,please?I'd like to learn to play it on my whistle.:)

What's your fave Lord of the Rings song? From either the soundtrack, the books...or both. Like "Into the West" and the song the elves sang when Bilbo and co entered Rivendell.:D My fave LotR soundtracks: "May it Be","Into the West","Gollum's Song","Isengard Unleashed" and "The Steward of...

Ok..I added some from the Silmarillion of what I could remember as weird as it seems...I like Niniel and Turin best..:rolleyes: and Faramir&Eowyn. EDIT: dang!! Im soo dumb!! I ment Elwing and Earlendil!! I just got confused cuz Elrond is their son...*bangs head*

My sister and I were thinking of what a modern day LoTR would be like!!! And we were thinking of all the things that would be different like: The hobbits could ride pee-wee 50's instead of ponies. Legolas could have a snipers rifle instead of a bow, and two pistols istead of the two knives...

Ello im new and would like to know how many of u all like lotr as well as narnia and how many times have u read the books? :)

I just got it from the library - it's great! Has anyone else looked at it? All the music was authorized by Tolkien...except perhaps the last (?). It's a musical score for a few of Tolkien's poems: The Road Goes Ever On Upon the Hearth the Fire Is Red In the Willow-meads of Tasarinan In...
