J. R. R. Tolkien

I've been wondering a good deal about something lately, and I thought I'd ask about it here: What all products can one purchase that have video and sound recordings of the Professor? Of couse, I'm a huge fan of his, and I'd like to see and hear as much of him as possible!

About the forum: I didn't really know where to put this. I thought maybe in the Middle-earth forum; but it's not really about Middle-earth, but about the creator of Middle-earth. I thought about the Fantasy and Sci-Fi Novels; but again, it's not about the story (which of course is more than a novel

), but about the man who made it. I thought that this would probably be the best forum. I hope I wasn't wrong...

Anyway, thanks for all your answers and info in advance!

I've got a sound recording of him reading poems from LOTR and the Hobbit. I'll look up the details and post it later if you like.

Gotta warn you, tho, it's dull as ditchwater. I'm glad I didn't have to stay awake during any of his lectures

This thread is probably more suitable to the Middle-earth forum than GMs. No problem Gwaimir.

Moving to the Middle-earth forum.

Oops!

Yes, that would be greatly appreciated, d.

I have a sound recording of him reciting 'Snow-white, Snow-white' and Galadriel's Lament, but that's all.

I personally didn't find those to be dull; but even if they are, I don't care!
