March 25th: Tolkien Reading Day
3/23/04, 8:16 pm EST - maegwen

Message Board admin Altaira reminds us that March 25th is "Tolkien Reading Day." According to The Tolkien Society, the event is "aimed at encouraging the use of Tolkien's works in education and to get schoolteachers and library staff to participate in reading Tolkien to their classes and in their libraries." And, as Altaira says, "Crack open those Tolkien books, and share them with a child if you can."

So everyone, read Tolkien books!!!!!!!!

w00t for Tolkien Reading day!

I'll read something out of "Tales from the Perilous Realm". I loaned "Roverandom" to my friend - she wanted to read the Hobbit but I don't have my copy here! I hope she likes Roverandom.

Don't start Val!

I know every day is Tolkien reading day. But the 25th is the official Tolkien reading day, and that is because March 25th in the Shire calendar is the day the ring was destroyed!

Oh - I know that! It was also March 25th on the Numenorean calendars... the only difference being the day of the week - because the Shire calendar kept the same days of the week for every date (by having certain days have no weekday name - kind of a 'skip day'), rather than letting the days of the week settle into whichever date they would. I don't have my RotK with appendices here, but I think that was a Sunday on the Shire calendar. I believe it's also considered by some, traditionally, to have been the date of the crucifixion - or was it resurrection? Not sure - only recently heard about that - and that this was perhaps why JRRT used this date!

I had already posted 'Happy Fourth Age New Year' on the messages thread on the 25th!
