 One Birthday to rule them all...
TODAY is Tolkien's 119th birthday! I think we all owe a great deal to the Father of Literature, Creator of High-Fantasy, and Creator of Middle-earth. (AND HOBBITS!) Happy Birthday Tolkien! May you rest in peace ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 Re: One Birthday to rule them all...
My favorite writer who I wish was was still around. You have founded some of the music I write, stories I write, and have given me a love for the world around me. The only one who comes close to you is by far a mile away. Happy birthday, JRRT!

 Re: One Birthday to rule them all...
Tolkien really had a way of putting you right there in Middle- Earth. His works always inspire and never age. All generations can and will get into his books. I'm currently working on the silmarillion, and its quite a read, as are all of his books.

 Re: One Birthday to rule them all...
The silmarillion is amazing. The entire backstory explaining everything. I read it back in elementary school. Still in my top 5. Damn me and him were close on Bdays. Mine yesterday and his today. Another great Author had his yesterday, Isaac Asimov.

 Re: One Birthday to rule them all...
hot damn that picture was F*CKING sweet.
and Happy Birthday JRR Tolkien!
just a random thought. if we celebrate someone's birthday when they're alive, shouldn't we celebrate their death date when they're dead?

 Re: One Birthday to rule them all...
I love LOTR, but you should really read A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. It will give you a chubby, I promise
