The lawfully awesome celtic4 brings to our attention the fact that Christopher Tolkien has finished a book begun by his father, to be published next year, titled The Children of Hurin. Woo! Granted, having read The Sil now, I have to say they chose probably the most catastrophically tragic family therein. Which is really saying something, considering The ( Read more... )

P.S. Oh yeah, and good news on the other stuff. Not sure how I missed that Jason Isaacs had a series on Showtime this year, either.

Peter Schilling; that's it. Wouldn't have forgotten who Bowie was! (Anyway, his is called "Space Oddity," unless he had a later song called "Major Tom"...)

I checked Jason Isaacs' info on IMDB.com. He looks incredibly busy. Seems he appears in about 18 things a year.

Oh good. I have found that the number of people who don't know from David Bowie and who identify songs by the hook and not the proper title is distressingly high. I am pleased to know that you are not among them.

Thanks! I try. Though I've fallen behind recently, I used to be a pretty rabid music fan...and really, every proper music fan must like Bowie!

Thank you for the pimp, and the compliment. *bows* :D

Tolkien did like his tragedies, though, so I'm not surprised he wanted to delve deeper into that particular one.

Thanks for the news! :) Yeah, I guess WWI kind of brings out the gloom in a guy.

Narn i Hin Hurin - Makes SPN Wincest look like Barney and Friends. LOL!

Let's hope Christopher does a better job than Frank Herbert's son did with the last Dune book. *hopes*

*pretends to have some idea what "SPN Wincest" is; nods and smiles*

Haven't read the Dune series yet...sounds like I should stop before the last one if I do, eh?

capra_maritimus September 23 2006, 01:49:16 UTC

SPN - Supernatural (TV show)

Wincest - incest fic featuring the brothers Sam and Dean Winchester.

Ah. Sure glad I know *that*. :D
