So, I haven't read Nimisha's Ship before, so that was nice. Not her greatest work, though, but enjoyable enough.

Now I have started a much denser tome: The Road to Middle Earth: How J. R. R. Tolkien Created a New Mythology by Tom Shippey. I am not a philologist, and while I don't read Old English, I wish I could... it fascinates me how almost legible it is compared to the language I do know.

At any rate, I read some Tolkien at least every other year, but when I do read LoTR, I can't read anything else after for a good month, LOL.
