On this day in 1955, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Return of the King was published, bringing The Lord of the Rings to its conclusion.
Interestingly, Tolkien disliked the title as he believed it revealed too much of the story. He preferred The War of the Ring.

The title for my forthcoming book with @crossway has been finalized: Weary and Worn: Held Fast by Christ When You Are Weak. dancruver.com/books
Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that came down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures. — J.R.R. Tolkien

Flying to OKC for some meetings this week and reading That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis. It is wild to read what seems to be happening in our culture, with government, in the corporate world, and the unfettered trust people put into AI from a book published in 1945.

For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach. — J.R.R. Tolkien

An Orc known for his attempt to eat a mouthful of Hobbit, only to be promptly beheaded and feasted upon in a cosmic circle of irony. Snaga, the icon that you are, played by the equally iconic Jed Brophy. #Orctober

"Soy, de hecho, un Hobbit. Me gustan los jardines, los árboles y las granjas; fumo en pipa y me agrada la buena comida sencilla, me satisfacen las setas; tengo un sentido del humor muy simple; me acuesto tarde y me levanto tarde. Me gusta mucho la cerveza."
J. R. R. Tolkien
