Hat tip to
K who recently became a Mythgardian! As she states:
Are you a lonely Tolkien fan, too? Do you want to take awesome classes like "The Story of The Hobbit" were you get to read all the manuscripts and typescripts of the book, or Latin, or classes on Arthurian Lore? Well, go and sign yourself up for some nerdy good time then! Classes can be audited or taken for credit.

I am already signed up for Tolkien's World of Middle Earth...you should take it! At least audit it....it would be so fun!
I know..... but I haven't even read the Silmarillion yet!
My only question is how will they treat the religious themes & their basis in Tolkein's Catholocism.
Who is this Tolkien guy, and why the fascination with make-believe? Isn't there enough escapism in our world already? How is escaping into fantasy going to help in combating the real evil in our world?
ROFLOL! Cassandra, you crack me up!!
With a name like Cassandra I would think that you would be a little more open to what the world has to offer. Life is not all problem solving or combatting evil. If you don't know about Tolkien, there is a large hole in your experiencing of life and the world.
