Yeah, I want to research it and get the facts. I am hoping that I can find the real thing. Some of what you find on wiki pages isn't accurate.

I think Satira was referring to the fact that, tolkien himself said that somewhere. I know I've seen it written previously...just can't remember where.

Hmmm, this is concerning. I had a biography of Tolkien but I can't find it. I do hope it didn't get caught in one of the leaks and thrown out. He was an Oxford professor of Anglo Saxon and a philogist, a very learned gentleman indeed.

Well, I just tried searching on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and they have lots of his books, including a biography, but I was looking for an autobiography published in the 1920s by Tolkien himself. Wikipedia listed probably every piece of literature he wrote, including the autobiography, but it's evidently not available.

I did read an article at Biography.com which stated he was a linguist, and he created his characters' languages. He was a genius, no getting around it.

Yep. That I am.

Check the Prologue in The Fellowship of the Rings (Concerning Hobbits).

The movies also show scenes of Bilbo, Frodo, and I think even Samwise, with the Red Book.

The Red Book of Westmarch actually exists :wink:

Dang it! I hate the internet connection on this ship! It's never up!


Anyway, we are in the middle of the big blue pond again, and we will be out here FOREVER, or two weeks... same thing.

I am making a Scarlet Witch outfit from Captain America: Civil War for Dawn and Miki 4. I'll post some pictures if I ever get in port long enough to do it...

An example of what's been happening with the transition at work:
After 6 weeks of hiccups we should be getting a KeHE (formerly Gourmet Awards, it's a specialty foods distributor) order today.
The bit that took the longest to work out was getting the tax stuff sent back and forth due to the sale of the store. Then came problems with getting the new account set up.
The guy who handles that stuff finally showed transportation and so on that all they had to do is mirror the old account to the new. After that got done the next problem kicked in.
A year or so ago we got switched from ordering out of Dallas to Flowermound. For some reason the route still belongs to Dallas so we became a crossdock. Dallas already had an account with that number, and the next number. Apparently they don't have one with the third so the order finally got loaded up and sent out as part of the tail end of a two day trip yesterday.

Then I'd suggest reading the Tolkien letters and History of Middle-Earth (1-16) if you want to research, I've been an Admin on The TolkienForum for several years. ;)
