In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

Why so much argument
Revisado: 09-16-21
I have already reviewed this once. I come back to it because I am disconcerted by all the comparisons between this and the Rob Inglis performance. Both were exceptional in their own ways. Every narrator is going to have their own interpretation on any given story. Tolkien fans should feel exceptionally blessed for having multiple interpretations to choose from. I have personally enjoyed both readings of the original text. I have enjoyed each for different reasons. Criticism for one reader over another seems counter productive. If you like one reader then listen to them. I just enjoy Tolkien. I love both readings because they are both the original text with different interpretations. Don't we have enough controversy with the new Rings of Power series without adding to it by arguing who reads the definitive text better? Please quit arguing over this. Tolkien fans who enjoy his actual words should be supportive of each other. Not tearing each other apart over which narrator was better.

The 14th century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering time of crusades and castles, cathedrals and chivalry, and the exquisitely decorated Books of Hours; and on the other, a time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world of chaos and the plague.

Not the Guns of August
Revisado: 08-12-21
I thoroughly enjoyed the Guns of August and was looking forward to more work from this author. I was disappointed that this book lacked the context and drama of her previous work. This book reminded me too much of High school history. One damned thing after another.

Life is hard. The journey from childhood to adulthood isn't easy. Everyone has a destiny. A potential. A calling from life itself to heroically live and discover the journey you were uniquely born to take. The stories in Men Who Walk with Dragons reveal how to find strength when you don't feel strong, wisdom when you feel confused, friends when you feel alone, courage when you feel afraid, and how you can walk with dragons.

In The End Is Always Near, Dan Carlin looks at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will our world ever become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something out of The Twilight Zone.
