"I am up to 1950 - We are getting close to the publication of Lord of the Rings and there's a bit of back and forth about whether Tolkien wishes to change publishers. He's also acknowledging that it has taken him 12 years to write the requested follow up to the Hobbit. There is much discussion about how big it is - a million words - and he is still keen to publish the Silmarillion." — Jun 23, 2026 04:38PM

"The book starts in 1910 with the spark (lynching of a Mexican in Texas) that will result in the Mexican Revolution (1910-1917). Then in the first two chapters the narrative reverses in time to provide the historical context of that event. Diaz is in power in Mexico and has ruled with an iron fist for 27 years - Mexico has achieved some measure of stability and prosperity but at the cost of US imperialism." — 5 hours, 47 min ago
