• Book Haul @ Kinokuniya

  
  VanillaCherryIce? ?don't stop baby ??????? — Authority: 104
  So last Thursday I finally put to good use the BB1M RM200 book vouchers I received from my university. They had been camping out in the dark reaches of my purse for maybe 2 weeks since I collected them, and the inner book addict was just dying  to hit them up! It’s been a good while since I’ve made a shopping ...

• One Ring to Rule Them All? – GGG Reviews the Latest Middle-Earth Based RPG

  
  Geek's Dream Girl — Authority: 483
  Although I love RPGs, and I love Tolkien’s fictional setting, I have never been a fan of RPGs set in Middle-Earth. I’ve tried, honestly! ICE’s Middle-Earth Role-Playing (MERP) was just a watered down version of Rolemaster, a game I really didn’t care for. To add insult to injury, the game only went up to level ...

• Misty Mountains Cold Never Sounded So Good

  
  Neatorama — Authority: 742
  ( YouTube Link ) It’s impressive enough that ShadowCa7 decided to perform a musical version of J.R.R. Tolkiens “Over The Misty Mountains Cold/The Dwarven Song Of Old Wealth” and committed to doing all 27 verses, but the fact that she does all the harmonies by herself while playing acoustic guitar makes this a ...

• The Lord of the Rings (Box Set) (J.R.R. Tolkien)

  
  Book Critic — Authority: 141
  While the price of this book is steep, this is easily the best version of this book in print. The gilded pages and high-quality leather look, smell and feel wonderful. This is not the questionable quality leather used on previous versions, this is the real deal. More importantly, this version has, as J.R.R. recorded ...

• Lord of the Rings Family Tree Project

  
  All Booked Up — Authority: 109
  This could be a really neat little site for any Tolkien fan to check out. I found it a bit slow loading, but its so comprehensive, that the wait is well worth it. The site, The Lord of the Rings Project is a family tree of everyone from the Valar and the Maiar to the various families of the Elves and the Houses of ...

• With the liturgy, “you never need words for joy”

  
  Cranach: The Blog of Veith — Authority: 493
  Rev. Samuel Schuldheisz points us to the role of the liturgy--including the Psalms and the classic hymns of praise--in the life of J. R. R. Tolkien.  This is from a letter to his son, Christophert: “If you don’t do so already, make a habit of the ‘praises’. I use them much (in Latin): the Gloria Patri , ...

• Celebrating Tolkien’s 120th birthday

  
  Lingw - Musings of a Fish — Authority: 394
  I am very pleased to be able to share some detailed information about a special upcoming issue of L’Arc et le Heaume , the publication of Tolkiendil (the French Tolkien Society). This is an exciting publication for me, since I contributed an essay — but especially for the franco-phone Tolkien community, for ...

• Lady Pixie Moondrips Guide to Craft Names

  
  The Cyber Cauldron — Authority: 119
  In the Olde Days, when our pagan ancestors were going through the persecutions we now invoke to justify various kinds of current silliness, witches took craft names to conceal their identities and avoid those annoying visits by the Inquisition. In the course of years, it was noticed that these aliases could also be ...

• Are the grammar books all right about alright?

  
  Lingw - Musings of a Fish — Authority: 394
  I used to be a bit of a perfectionist when it came to language. I was known — infamous, I should say — for correcting everyone’s grammar, from the time I first learned what grammar was, all the way to the time I started learning about the differences between prescriptive and descriptive grammar. Nowadays, I’ve ...

  Sacnoth's Scriptorium — Authority: 104
  So, Friday brought some long-awaited arrivals: three boxes filled with four copies each of the new, improved, one-volume second edition of THE HISTORY OF THE HOBBIT. These are my authors copies, mailed to me from Glasgow near the end of October; I assume they got delayed by all the holiday mail in-between. At over 5 ...

• Elvish Necklace

  
  Dark Mountain Treasures — Authority: 111
  I admit it, I’m a Tolkien fan. This necklace was inspired by the portrayals of the elves in Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. I do believe this necklace would be the envy of those Forest Folk…and you will see this particular style repeated throughout my work. I love the shape of it. I [...]

• Fantasy Friday – What’s Better Than Tolkien?

  
  A Christian Worldview of Fiction — Authority: 409
  As the old year drew to a close, I abandoned a contemporary fantasy for the tried and true — a re-reading of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring , which you may recall from the post Fantasy Friday – Reading the Greats . In explaining my decision, I said, in part, I want a book of substance, that ...

• A is for Álfr

  
  Linda's Realm — Authority: 110
  The earliest known reference to Elves, still in existance, comes from Norse Mythology. In Old Norse, the Elves were called álfar (singular = álfr). In the Edda, Snorre makes the distinction between light-elves (Liosálfar), Dark-Elves (Döckálfar) and Black-Elves (Svartalfar). The Light Elves are supposedly fair to ...
