New Tolkien Book Released 'The Children of Hurin'
Zoolander writes "Christopher Tolkien has completed the last book of J.R.R. Tolkien from notes left from his father."

Judging the book by its cover, the book will involve a guy who climbs a hill faster than some other guys who also are climbing that hill. Then, he will look at something. Maybe he will tell us about what he sees. Sounds thrilling!
A matter to be discussed? I thought that's what LOTR was about!?
Homosexuality was discussed in LOTR? I don't recall. There was plenty of Hobbitsexuality, but that's a bit different. Just a bit, mind you.
No, the anonymous D&D quest is much lower in quality than the actual LotR.

"Like a fine whine, you have to let it age a bit."
...the hippies caught onto them and inflicted a generation of kids called things like Pippin Galadriel Moonchild on the world...
