So, l finally agree with my boss a different arrangement of my shifts. From today, l should have more time to dedicate to my passions.
I expect this will positively impact my activity on Litsy too 😁

Post 1/2: When I read ”Of the Flight of the Noldor” now after reading the History of Middle-Earth (HoME), I always miss the actual inclusion of the oath of Fëanor and his sons. Reading the words feels so much more dramatic than only a narrative description. So, I‘m sharing two versions. This is the version from the tagged book.

Post 2/2: When I read ”Of the Flight of the Noldor” now after reading the History of Middle-Earth (HoME), I always miss the actual inclusion of the oath of Fëanor and his sons. Reading the words feels so much more dramatic than only a narrative description. So, I‘m sharing two versions. This is the earlier version in poem form from the tagged book, and my favorite.

JazzFeathers I agree. The Oath of Feanor is powerful. Also, l don't remember it nnwhich version it is, but l really miss the actual debate before the Oath is taken. I remember thinking, everybody is right, and everybody is wrong, and this is diabolic!!!!! 😱😂 3w

I saw this a couple of weeks ago and am only just getting around to posting it. I thought the #FellowshipofTolkien might enjoy this “Spell in the Library” with a delightful poet, scholar, and priest, reading from and chatting about “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.” Malcolm Guite is an absolute treasure… and he reminds me of a hobbit. 😁

#FellowshipOfTolkien Readers,
Life has been a busy and I realized last night that I‘ve yet to share a schedule for The Silmarillion. I adjusted a previous schedule to include weekly catch up days since I know many of us are reading multiple things and The Silmarillion can be hard reading. I‘m so looking forward to reading this again with you all! I‘d love to see your edition as we get started.

Daisey @BarbaraJean I‘m sure I‘m going to need them as well! Lately it seems I only have time for Litsy on the weekends, so most of my own participation may happen on catch up days. 1mo
JazzFeathers Thanks for this, @Daisey 😁 Once against n, I'll try to read along. I still need to finish the previous two books 😶 1mo
Roary47 Yay for catch up days! 🫣🥰💛 1mo

3✨ I got to say I‘m not a fan of poetry, but this was a pleasant read. It was pretty short and the end of my version had commentary that at this time I opted out of reading. I like that I started this when it was raining because of this section. #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers

I‘ve enjoyed listening to some selected short works of JRR Tolkien for the #FellowshipOfTolkien. The next time we do a buddy read of these works, I hope to have a print copy so I can see the wonderful artwork.

Today‘s word is one more from “Farmer Giles of Ham.”

pantechnicon: (noun) a large van for transporting furniture

That‘s a pretty specific word and an interesting visual comparison.

I finished Smith of Wootton Major and this little book this morning. I enjoyed all of the illustrations, although I thought the ones in Farmer Giles of Ham were better than this story. This one is a bit more bittersweet, but still a great story of Faery. Tolkien‘s short stories will never rank with his stories of Middle-Earth, but I do love seeing the variety.

Daisey One more note: I‘ll be working on a schedule for The Silmarillion to start February 18. 2mo

AnnR Hi @Daisey. Could you please remove me from the tag list. Thank you. 🙂 (edited) 2mo
TheAromaofBooks I had never read Smith before and quite enjoyed it. 2mo
BarbaraJean I thought I had read more of the stories in Tales from the Perilous Realm, but I don't remember reading either of these! Tom Bombadil and Roverandom are the only ones I had any memory of. I really liked both Farmer Giles and Smith--Smith, especially (partly because of its bittersweetness!). (edited) 2mo

Daisey @TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean I know I‘ve read these before, but I didn‘t remember them well and enjoyed their differences so much! 2mo
BethM This was my first time. I think I liked Farmer best. Short stories are just generally not my jam 😂 1mo
Daisey @BethM I‘m with you on the short stories. I tend to want more detail. 1mo
