Christmas presents...

I'm so puffed up it's unbearable! Got some cool LoTR stuff...



The only LoTR thing I had asked for was the Lorien brooch. Which I got, and was enough to make me squee, just that!
But my lovely DH also got me a tapestry map of Middle Earth, the Official (tm) One Ring (it comes in this neat little rock full of lava that lights up! *grin*) and best of all the The Road Goes Ever On *with* CD! The other really lovely thing he got for me was an awesome new unicorn for my collection: it's cast bronze, very nearly a foot high, reproduction of the unicorn found as a supporter for the British Royal Arms--absolutely *gorgeous*! I got a few other little things as well, but those were just so awesome, I just had to post and gloat share!

****
Merry Christmas again! I'm off to make breakfast!

Well, the readtolkien is right here on LJ, and has just barely started, so the discussion has not quite picked up yet. And Chapter of the Week is online as well at rec.arts.books.tolkien and alt.fan.tolkien. Of course, that is still on LotR, but we are already on "The Seige of Minas Tirith", so we'll be finishing it up soon, and they are starting to discuss setting things up for The Silm.
You can find previous discussions of The Hobbit, and of LotR here:

I will check into this. Thank you for letting me know about it. I started the book yesterday and it is indeed very like a history. It will be slow reading, but I think it will be interesting as I get into it more.
