Now Playing Tracks

“…You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point ‘Shut the book now, dad; we don’t want to read any more’.”

“Maybe,” said Sam, “but I wouldn’t be one to say that. Things done and over and made into part of the great tales are different. Why, even Gollum might be good in a tale, better than he is to have by you, anyway. And he used to like tales himself once, by his own account. I wonder if he thinks he’s the hero or the villain?”
“Gollum!” he called. “Would you like to be the hero, now where’s he got to again?”

PARTS OF THE BOOK THAT WEREN’T IN THE MOVIE

So we went to EMP in Seattle today.

They had a sci-fi/fantasy display and that had a case with a bunch of J.R.R. Tolkien’s actual drawings and notes and first drafts for The Hobbit and Fellowship.
I honestly stood there staring at them and reading them for so long. I couldn’t pull myself away. I just couldn’t believe I was actually reading something he had hand written.
Those words that I’ve read a hundred times before became something more to me than just words I’d seen printed in a book. The fact that his actual first drawing if the Doors to Moria was right in front of me hit me so hard. I could feel myself tearing up. There was something so amazing about seeing those few pages of his actual handwriting and notes for the books that got me super emotional about it, because his work changed my life.

I’m still in awe of it all. Made my day completely.
