I have returned from the abyss
|
Can't Post

The abyss of moving, that it. It has been months since I've posted and since I was living without internet during the release of the final Hobbit film, I missed out on all the good stuff this forum has to offer. I picked up "The Fellowship" written by the Zaleskis and it covers the four main Inkling members (Tolkien, Lewis, Williams, and Barfield). It has inspired me to get back into my own research and writing on Tolkien. I am here to say Hello Again! to everyone on the One Ring forums, and to highly recommend the book to anyone interested in these authors since we all have a vested interest in at least one of them :) I hope to see you all on the boards more often and I apologize for the extended absence. Cheers!

I just finished reading the Zaleskis' book and was thinking about starting a thread on it. I learned a lot, especially about Owen Barfield since I'd never read a biography of him. Caught a few minor mistakes in the Tolkien material, but nothing major (gnomes are the same as dwarves?). I did disagree with their opinion that Tolkien "wasted" time writing letters after LotR was published. I consider a lot of those letters to be golden and am very glad he wrote them. Sure, some of them are just complaining to his publisher, but then you get a magnificent one that makes them all worthwhile. (Hope your move went well. I'd say "welcome back" but I'm new here so this is the first time we've met.)
