how much of the opening farewell speech is the ring talking, i wonder.

On that same opening farewell speech, I hope that won't be how you say goodbye to us lot when someday you decide to leave GR!

You're on a roll here, Cecily, with these LoTR reviews. I like Tolkien's drawings but didn't realize he did art too, until later. Nice map you found there.

Not much, I reckon. The One Ring hadn't corrupted him at that point, and what he's saying is far too gentle for Ring-speak.

I have no plans or desire to leave: I tried Booklikes briefly, years ago, but found it hard to generate interactions. I also have no desire to live to eleventy one (view spoiler)[which is just as well, given the combined consequences of Brexit, climate change, possible wars etc (hide spoiler)].

Thanks, Alfred. It was your review that prompted me to do The Hobbit and The Silmarillion, which led me to feel bad that I'd written not a jot about the three LotR books. However, these aren't really proper reviews, but mere tokens.

He did quite a lot of illustrations. Look at my Letters from Father Christmas review: /review/show... for more examples.

Lovely little review Mrs. and I love that map. I wish they'd show where the Pokestops are though...

Thanks and LOL. Surely there's a Pokemon-in-Middle-Earth mashup just waiting to be made...

And of course, we're not the first to have thought of that:

Pok茅mon's Johto Region As A Middle Earth-Style Map:

For a while there, I thought pokestops referred to the stops where you can buy poke bowls to eat. Yum! Cecily and Apatt, ever tried one of those?

It would also be so fun to play geocaching on Middle Earth...

"I also have no desire to live to eleventy one"

What?? And miss to see the conclusion to all that??

LOL, and no, I haven't (I can't answer for Apatt). My knowledge of Pokemon Go is all second-hand: my 25-year old and fiance茅 play, and Apatt mentions it occasionally.

I've never done geocaching either, but I know what it is, and yes, that would be fun.

As for living to see the end of civilisation, what would be the appeal? (I've often said, only half-jokingly, that I'm glad I live near enough to London, Heathrow, and few security bases, that if there was a huge war, I'd probably get a direct hit, rather than scrabble for survival in a post-apocalyptic world.)

馃ぃ I'd better go explore.

Have fun. And remember, that although not all those who wander are lost, those who wander without a map are liable to become so.
