Long Time No Blog. (Brief book review)
Sorry for the long delay in blogging. I've been very busy with end of the semester assignments and such, but I have returned.
I recently bought a new Tolkien book today. It's called Untangling Tolkien by Michael W. Perry (ISBN: 1587420198) Basically, the author compiles a chronology and commentary for the Lord of the Rings. Like many other Tolkien books, there are some minor errors (for instance, Mr. Perry calls the wizards "valar"; they are actually "Istari". ) However, his ordering of the events of the Lord of the Rings and his detail are generally superb. I'd recommend this book for anyone's Tolkien collection.
If you want me to find it in a library near you, email me at tolkienlibrarian@hotmail.com and I will send you the information you'll need to find it.

Hi "the weird first"; or, since you're using spanglish, I suppose you could have meant "the first weird"; must be some kind of inside joke.
Which books have you read? Hobbit? Lord of the Rings? Silmarillion? Unfinished Tales? Any of the History of Middle Earth series?
When did you get started reading Tolkien or are you (if I may....) a "movie convert"?
