The Reading Room passionately examines every piece of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works. True to its style, ardent debate is stirred over The Lord of the Rings’ chapter title, Flotsam and Jetsam, and the interpretations, analysis, and inquiries into the meaning of Tolkien’s choice of words.  Check out the action!

There was a flurry of activity when the announcement that pre-ordering is finally available for the long-anticipated The Lord of the Rings on Blu-Ray!  Some posters’ reactions are surprising. [Click here]

It’s always a good time at the end of the week when the Off-Topic Board hosts Fiesta Friday!  At noon (EST) it’s a chance for everyone to meet up and share what they’ve been up to during the week.  Their accomplishments, experiences, challenges or  those everyday events that we all can relate to.  Join in the party each week!
