Hey! You know I work in our church library? Well, the librarian gave me one of her personal books to read...called The Light Princess by George MacDonald. Know anything about it? Got an opinion?
To: 2Jedismom
I may be confusing him with someone else, but it is possible that George MacDonald was another member of the Inklings, the conservative literary club that included C. S. Lewis and Tolkien.
To: 2Jedismom
Oh - so brush teeth before playing flute... that I can understand!
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
"George MacDonald, of course, was not a member of the Inklings since he died in 1905. He was, however, an influence on many of them, particularly Lewis, and to a lesser extent, Tolkien."
A Google search turned up the above. I had read that J.R.R.T. liked him pretty well. Apparently his work helped convert Lewis to Christianity.
To: Sam Cree
Apparently his work helped convert Lewis to Christianity. Well his connection to the Inklings was vaguer than I surmised, but at least it exists.
WHERE ARE ALL THE HOBBITS??!! Watching the playoffs? Sauron got your tongues?
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Just walked in from choir practice, have to get the little one to bed, and I'll be back.
Save the precious for me.

"WHERE ARE ALL THE HOBBITS??!!"
Yes, I was starting to wonder if it was possible for just one thread to crash...it's so quiet around here.

To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Has it been determined that we'll have to go to a new thread? TNS is above 10,000 now...
What's the scoop? Is there a scoop? Inquiring minds want to know.
To: Corin Stormhands

To: Corin Stormhands
