Algamesh sends in some very cool info about an upcoming event regarding The Two Towers books and a literary discussion about them, check it out!
My name is James Edwards (aka Algamesh) and I am the administrator of a web community known as “Tolkien’s Ring”. Tolkien’s Ring (TR) is a discussion community comprised of nearly 200 members and growing. We have been and are currently the most active Book Community on MSN Groups, according to their ranked listing, since March. Our focus is on the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien and bits of the miscellany that accompanies it. We have just recently finished a very successful analysis of the Silmarillion – part of a Mock Middle-earth History syllabus that we have compiled. Our goal is to complete a group study of all published Tolkien literature (J.R.R. & Christopher) while posting our comments, questions, observations, and reflections concurrently.
Starting October 14th, we will begin a study of “The Two Towers” in tribute to the upcoming cinema event, conducted at Tolkiens Ring.

Ian Holm to play Napoleon Bonaparte. Again.
FrodoFan1 sent a pack of news out of this month’s Empire magazine. “After scaring the living sh*t out of audiences for that split second during LOTR, revered British actor Ian Holm is set to return to familiar ground for “The Emporor’s New Clothes.”
Holm, who previously played the “Little General” in Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits and the British min-series Napoleon And Love, goes for the trifecta in a picture that asks that old chestnut “what if?”-in this case,”what if Bonaparte hadn’t died in exile and had to return to power.
“Directed by West Wing helmer Alan Taylor, and co-starring Blackadders Tim McInnerny, this promosises to be a classy contingency affair all round. “
In other cast news, Viggo Mortensn has pulled out of the role of corrupt preist Cesare, brother of Lucretia, in Neil Jordan’s film of the Borgia family. He is replaced by Ewan McGregor.
