Today is the annual Tolkien Reading Day where fans from around the world celebrate J.R.R. Tolkien and his works by simply reading. Some schools around the globe participate as do bookstores and coffee shops but many more take part in their own way, by themselves or with friends and family. How did you celebrate? There are excellent responses on TORn’s own Facebook page (and we like to be “liked”) or you can share your experience on our message boards by following the “discuss” link below. It is also an excellent time to check our our own Reading Room including this post. If you didn’t have a chance to read Tolkien today, its not too late in many time zones (and we promise not to tell if you do it a day late.)
On any given day, there could be many Tolkien related events taking place somewhere on this great big planet of ours. Sometimes we get to post about those events on our homepage, sometimes we don’t. To make things a bit easier for Ringers worldwide to keep track of upcoming (and past) events, we are announcing TheOneRing.net Event Calendar! This new calendar, maintained using Google Calendar, not only allows you to quickly and easily look through upcoming events, it allows you to subscribe and even add events to your own personal calendar. That way you can set up you own reminders and alerts ’til your hearts content! And best yet, if you have an event coming up, we do take submissions to be included on the calendar. Our goal is to make this the most comprehensive calendar for Tolkien fans worldwide, and with your help, we hope to reach that goal! Follow the link to view the upcoming events.

A while back, we announced a ‘Show us your Smaug’ giveaway on Facebook. Many entered, and there were so many good entries that we decided to pick three winners instead of just one! So congrats to Tam O’Malley, Daniella Fernandes and Dave DelaGardelle! You’ve won yourself a copy of The Lord of the Rings BBC Radio Play! Above are their entries. Congrats again!
With the start of production on The Hobbit, and all the buzz about The Lord of the Rings Blu-ray Set, can there be a better time to share your love for all things Tolkien? We think not! So let us help you do so by offering you the 2011 Spring Collection of T-shirts from TheOneRing.net.
