BBC Radio Dramatization of The Hobbit
Over at The OneRing.Net were going to listen to and discuss the BBC's Radio Dramatization of The Hobbit. Here is the link if you want to head over and see the schedule. The CD's are broken up into chapters and were going to discuss a chapter every 2 weeks except over Thanksgiving and Christmas when ...

Wonderful connection Voronwë! I have never in all my readings made that connection but the link is just right there, especially in the 50th edition. There are some interesting insights in The Return of the Shadow about what went on between Balin and Dain, ie Moria and the Lonely Mountain. There is n...

Book 2, Chapter 2: The Council of Elrond
I figured we shouldn't wait for November to actually time the chapter to the date so to speak so here goes an introduction for discussion. For me this is the catch up chapter. Here we learned what happen to Gandalf when he left Frodo in the Shire and departed for some news. We find out what has been...

:) Thanks Voronwë since I have only followed this mainly on this site. I just read your posts over at The One Ring about it (nice conversation with Kristin Thompson). I agree with the scarf comment, and for her age, I think she is looking healthy for a 80 year old woman if that is a recent picture. ...

Very interesting article from the Estate and their Lawyers today located here . In my opinion they really support Voronwë's point that they don't want to stop The Hobbit as a movie from coming out. They just want to terminate New Line's rights to let it come out. From the article: But Miss Tolkien a...

So if I take this right Warner Bros/New Line argues that until a significant breech is found to have occurred the argument for revoking the rights should not be a part of this suit. So would that mean if they want this a second suit would have to be brought even taking longer to come about? Also, do...

No, I saw your post Elentári, and I shared that passage as a way to communicate my point that this is another set-up chapter by Tolkien that foreshadows what is to come, much like Shadow in the Past is. I took your post as relating to a favorite passage of yours from the chapter and in linking it to...

It's all about the lobes. My ear lobes are not connected to my head but hang down loose. The shape of the ear is more vertical, and my son shares this trait. My daughter pointed out to me that her and my wife's lobes are connected to their head and the ear appears to be more at a slanted angle makin...

Viktor Frankl Man's Search For Meaning
Has anyone read this book and what did you think of it? I just got it and find it quite interesting. He had the option of leaving Austria before Germany took it over and stayed to honor his parents and take care of them. As a result, he was in four camps and lost his parents, his brother and his pre...

Actually, I'm not really following the news that much. Waiting for announcements of actors etc and that's about it. I've decided to wait until I go and see the movie in the theater to make any decision on the adaptation without too much foreknowledge going into the movie. I'll grade it as a movie an...

I am looking forward to the next chapter also as we see a time of healing, insight and reflection ending with the formation of the Fellowship with Frodo showing his unusual quality by accepting the task of ring bearer. Then again, I'm jumping ahead. Excellent posts by many, I've enjoyed following th...

This is NGC 1535, an object called a planetary nebula. No planets involved, this is a star similar to our sun that has lived out it's existence and has shed its outer shell (the nebula part) and has only a dense core around the size of earth left, called a white dwarf. The are one of my favorite obj...
