Your Tolkien Virgin Ping!

Read along with a Tolkien Virgin as he discovers and comments on the history of Middle Earth as he reads it for the first time.  These articles started with The Silmarillion, is now journeying through The Hobbit, and will finish with the epic Lord Of The Rings.  At the pace of 2 articles per week (Mondays and Fridays) the articles will wrap up about the same time that the final movie of the Lord Of The Rings story is released. 

If anyone would like for me to ping them directly when I post the Tolkien Virgin articles or my Daily Tolkien articles let me know. I hope that you enjoy them!

Ring Ping!!

I don't know that it was all "luck", maybe it was all predestined to happen the way it happened.

I hope Mr. Edmonds picks up on the theme of Iluvatar guiding some things to happen. I believe, in the beginning of "The Silmarillion", Iluvatar even said He would cause things to happen.

Even though Tolkien did not write allegory you cannot totally divorce his faith from his writings.
