I've re-read LotR and The Hobbit every couple of years since I was 12 or so. When my first copy wore out I got a box set that included the Reader's Companion. I wouldn't recommend it if it's your first time reading, but I liked it as it follows along the LotR page by page and brings up interesting tid-bits about what you're reading, like how previous drafts of the same chapter evolved and how off handed references you would never think twice about tie into Tolkien's other works (published and unpublished).

Chris doesn't have an imaginative bone in his body, and has made his life's work editing and compiling everything his father did. Someone else interpreting daddy's books, and interpreting them well, is simply intolerable. That's just my take on it, not really based on anything I've read him say.

Tree Bucket posted:Yes, yes, 1000% yes. I'm having the same problem with KS Robinson's Mars series atm, with all its scarps, arroyos, karsts, pingos, moraines and fellfields. I read this series on a kindle and must have used the dictionary function for "karsts" at least a dozen times.

euphronius posted:I mean the world inside the frame is the book is racist . For humans If you have better blood you are better. Live longer, taller, stronger, more handsome, etc. elves are better than humans and some elves are better than others for old reasons . There is a CYOA on these very forums that takes this premise to it's logical extreme, set in a pre-biblical not-Mesopotamia.
