Happy Birthday to Lord Xanthyz, who apparently turns 16 today .

Happy Birthday! Hopefully someone bought you a new Tolkien book, it would save us all the hassle of answering tedious questions Sweet sixteen .... the hope of all fifteen year olds ....

Happy B-Day!!!!

My age is measured in yards, dollars, and bytes.

Happy Birthday (hmm, what else to say, how about) and maybe something else (hey, i'm not very creative tonight)

LOL @ Inoldonil

I didn't get any Tolkien books, but I did get a nice wad of cash to buy Tolkien books with

Buy the Peoples of Middle-earth (HoM-e Vol. XII) if you get a chance. I've read The Shibboleth of Fëanor many times, very fascinating. Middle-earth itself is linguistically inspired, but this writing is especially so, though I expext one may read it without any such interest and enjoy the 'story' end of it, as long as you know who you're reading about. But I don't know. I may be a bad judge, I've found out recently many here and elsewhere find the Silmarillion to be boring, so perhaps those many people wouldn't like The Shibboleth.

I think I'm especially attracted to it because of my recently found love of Quenya, and the life of the Calaquendi in the Starlight Ages, but I don't think I was when I first read it, so that may have been the pebble that started the avalanche, so to speak.

Have a very happy B-day. Are you driving yet?
