The American Library Association’s Library Journal has a bibliography for us in the October issue. It lists books by and books about JRR Tolkien plus a great writeup about the enthusiasm already seen for the upcoming movies and a suggestion to stock up on the books as the first movie’s release date gets closer. And, a big round of applause as TheOneRing.net is touted as “the best web page hands down” for movie information by Library Journal’s Senior Editor Michael Rogers.

“The Fellowship of the Ring” (Dec. 19): Not to be outdone by all things “Harry Potter,” Peter Jackson (“Heavenly Creatures”) unleashes the first loop in his already-filmed “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. What else is the J.K. Rowling series if not a less gothic and byzantine dilution of J.R.R. Tolkien’s collection?
