Some saddish news for LOTR fans.
 

The eldest son of The Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien has died at the age of 85. Father John Tolkien, heir to the multi-million family estate, died after a 50-year career with the Catholic church in the Midlands.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww.... that's sad... I say we freeze christopher tolkein while we still have him and unfreeze him in an era where we can keep him alive forever.

bummer

well, it's good and bad at the same time because I heard that some nasty allegations were going to come up against him (sexual abuse, etc). I agree with Kitz about CHristopher, tho.

I'd heard about that too. :\


You doing ok, Laur?
