College... y’know, I’d picked up a paperback of Beowulf in my early teens (being very interested in Tolkien, sword and sorcery books, Eddison, etc) and have never read it. I think I spent a weekend with Grendel’s mother though...

I definitely got a crash course on Beowolf. It wasn’t Tolkien’s translation. I’d like to read his version though.
