Birthday


Well Tolkien fans probably already know this, but I believe the third was his birthday, so happy birthday Tolkien! (even though he's been dead for like twenty years). I wonder if the master and maker of Middle-earth himself would like all the publicity he has gotten since the movies were made. From what I've read, he didn't like a lot of attention. He was a simple man who ate simple food and went day to day doing the same things; much like a hobbit. He would be 106 years old. He has become one of the most well-known authors in the 20th century and beyond for The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and other works about his world of Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, and Men.

"One Ring to Rule Them All, One Ring to Find Them,
One Ring to Bring Them All, and in the Darkness, Bind Them."
