Also, i know his name is pronounced âtok-keenâ but I always say âtol-key-enâ đ

because he never wrote the same thing twice there are different versions of middle earth history and facts
so it really is like scripture with people quoting different facts at each other or quoting from gospels, ie accepted writings about tolkien
i was foolish and wrote something from real life and in my own wordsđč

Gosh, ever read The Silmarillion, thatâs scripture at the start. And then you get into his letters and itâs retcons for daaaayyyys. And the insane fans will just rip you to shreds if you havenât read the letters.
Iâve read The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of The Rings; Iâm not gonna read his freaking letters too, or his sonâs.
If youâre able to, get a copy of The Soddit and/or The Sellamillion by Adam Roberts. Theyâre hilarious parodies that I love too, I still quote The Soddit. Donât mind the insane fans, theyâre ridiculous people lol

I admit reading books about tolkienâs world as well but not the letters, thatâs just crazy
