Tolkein speaks from beyond the grave....

[Neeyik]

Well not quite, but his doppleganger (aka his son Christopher) has finished of The Children of Hurin for him and it should be published next year:

Mind you, if you've read Unfinished Tales then you'll already be familiar with the tale.

Let's just hope he's a greater literary heir to his father than Brian Herbert was to his.

Chris and Guy Kay did quite a bit of work together for The Silmarillion, so this could be an interesting read.

And it's spelled Tolkien, Nick. Pronounced Tohl-keen, not Toll-can. </geek mode>

 

[Neeyik]

The spelling was a typo but I'm not sure how you construed that I'm also mispronouncing his name too!

Oh, didn't mean to imply that. Besides commonly seeing his name mispelled I always hear it mis-prounounced, so while I was in pedantic geek mode I thought I'd throw that in there too.

No, I intentionally mispelled a certain word in a vain "ha ha" effort.

Oh, my mistake. I was looking two posts above..

Nouns?

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

A noun is a person, place or thing.
I read it in the dictionary yesterday.

Thank you, thank you. A wit as keen as mine is rarely fully appreciated.
