@PoetsLight I think you can get one on itunes for about 30 or so. I don't know if it's the entire book but I know it does have him singing the bend the forks and crack the plates song. You might want to check that out

@standingontruth1 ive done all of those things. Fortunately for me there has never been a single shred of evidence for the existence of a god or afterlife.

@vovka8308 Again, his grammatical mistakes were intentional. He fought with the publisher to keep them even though the editors would go and correct them anyhow. He helped write definitions for the Oxford dictionary, so he knew the mistakes he was making, he just decided to use them under a sense of artistic license. Books are art, not math. Put the dictionary down; language at its best is not a prescribed formula, or else everyone would read microwave instruction manuals for fun.

To write a book, a world so full of creatures, culture and history is trully remarkable. Cristopher Tolkien could try to gather all of his father's notes and make books with them, and yet a lot would be missing. Both notes writen in papper and what lied in JRR's mind. The chapter's name itself is well thought and created. That world you love and imagine was real. It was real inside the mind of a genius.
