I have at least one Tolkien book to read this year and the YA books you mentioned sound really fun. I also have a book by Professor Ronald Hutton I hope to read soon that is about both authors. Count me in, I will see what I get around to reading during the year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-74265959928546051742007-12-28T10:05:00.000-06:002007-12-28T10:05:00.000-06:00Count me in on the challenge!

Here's my review from five years back.<BR/><BR/>The Inklings by Humphrey Carpenter 1978 A (and maybe even A+)<BR/>The Inklings were a group of men at Oxford, who met a couple times a <BR/>week, and read their work, or discussed the world. C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. <BR/>Tolkien, and Charles Williams were the core. Others came and went. <BR/>This book spends more time on Lewis and Williams than on Tolkien, but I <BR/>think this is because the author has already done a biography of T. <BR/>Carpenter is one of the very best biographers I have ever read. He <BR/>brings these brilliant men to life. I haven't read any of the writers' <BR/>works, but am fascinated by the men themselves; by their lives, <BR/>thoughts, conversations. Even when I wasn't much interested in a <BR/>person, like Williams, the writing was still so good that it held me.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.com
