How do I get on this ping list? My wife and I have been Tolkienites for the past quarter-century. Just two nights ago I tried to put myself to sleep by reading Appendix A from The Return of the King.
It didn't work...it was too interesting.
Well, we don't really have a ping list per se, we are now more of a group of friends who chit-chat than a Tolkien-oriented group any more. We go days without Tolkien talk nowadays. We used to have a pretty active ping list for LoTR movie news, but there isn't much of that left now.
But if you have a Tolkien conversation you'd like to start, this would be the place to do it! Welcome!

Try The Silmarillion
Oh! Was I talking out loud? :)
