- J.R.R. Tolkien's Authorized Biography

for everyone

To finally come to "The End" is merely just a door left ajar waiting to
be pushed lightly through a tip of a finger, so to expose the
whirlwindlike beauty of Tolkien's works! What better way could I ever
be drawn intimately to the author's mind and spirit than reading his
biography? It was a pleasure reading such a book, because without any
coercion I surprisiningly found myself in one of the library aisles
getting caught in a deja vu. I felt being pulled back to my 'Hobbit'
memories of pure drunkenness. I now feel I have a legitimate reason to
explore Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings and the rest. It's going to be a
long journey considering I have E.M. Forster to deal with for my school
paper. In addition to the drinking session, I have not completely
abandoned the thought that I just recently bought C.S.Lewis's books. I
deeply admire Tolkien's and Lewis's friendship that I feel so inept if I
don't read them parallel to each other! As I said, it's going to be a
long journey, but then again "tolerance can lead you to learning
something" (I forgot who said it), isn't it right?. I can't wait to get
drunk!
