| Some books hit you out of the blue. Like some shiny coin you spot on the sidewalk, you wonder if it’s worth picking up. You know coins aren’t worth anything these days, but for some reason you pick it up anyway. And—wonder of wonders—it’s solid gold! ...more | |

| This book will delight Tolkien fans and those who are looking for new stories about Father Christmas/Santa Claus. Some of the stories are quite child-like and innocent while others have more action and adventure and have echoes of Tolkien's Middle-ea ...more | |

Beowulf is a hard book to wrap your mind around. To modern readers the story seems primeval. Even a good translation, which certainly applies when it comes to this edition by Seamus Heaney, can bring the reader only so far in the antiquated world dep ...more |

Books have a weight to them that goes beyond the sheer amount of pages upon which they are printed. Some books drone on and on, page after page, and do not say much at all. They may be page-turners. They may be exciting. Like cotton candy, they have l ...more |

“Though thankless you are and surely undeserving, I leave you with this truth all the same. For it is not what you know, but knowing what's true that matters. Clever men teach many false things.”

“But that’s the thing, isn’t it?” Zinder said. “There’s not always a fire to come home to. And on those days you need persistence. Sometimes life is pleasant and you hardly notice the hours passing by. That’s the way it is for me at the anvil. But other days you have to scratch your way through with everything you have in you. There’s not always the promise of a warm hearth awaiting you. But you press on. You don’t give up. And then, wonder of wonders, you find the fire’s there, just when you need it most. But if you don’t persist, you’ll never find the fire.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
