I read you Strider's poem about Beren and Luthien from the Two Towers, and (a day late) toast the Professor on his birthday
If you like you can encourage me here with coffee and cake but there is of course no obligation!

I discovered you in 2023. I’ve noticed many men my age, (25) actively pursuing their interests and trying to broaden their intellectual capacity. I don’t know if it’s the world around us, or the interest to simply be academically inclined. At any rate, I enjoy your perspectives and reviews. You have shown me J.R.R. Tolkien and I am forever grateful. Continue on I say! You are a master class example of a true scholar and mentor.

I love listening to people that love Tolkien as much as me read from and talk about these incredible books. I think I’ve read the trilogy nearly every year since I first read them around age twelve and I’m now thirty. They truly are magical

We talk of dark times now, but it's impossible to comprehend what Tolkien and his generation must have gone through. This from the Preface to Lord of the Rings: “By 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead”.

This is one of my favorite scenes in the book, and actually, even though they didn't recite the whole poetic section, I thought the extended edition of the movie handled this seen well. When Frodo asks Strider what happened to the woman of whom he is singing, he simply says, "She died." Those are two powerful words for those of who have read the poem and how it ends with "sorrowless". Also, I also have Peterson's Professor pipe. I'll have to light it tonight and raise a glass of Guinness to the Professor.
