Here’s the story on a recently ‘discovered’ speech by the Professor [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/134748-Tolkiens-Lost-Speech-Gives-You-the-True-Meaning-of-The-One-Ring?utm\_source=rss&utm\_medium=rss&utm\_campaign=news](http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/134748-Tolkiens-Lost-Speech-Gives-You-the-True-Meaning-of-The-One-Ring?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=news) Looks interesting! ---

I’ve seen that floating around. Other than being pissed at the short length of the teaser, I’m looking forward to seeing the footage. I love the idea of him relaxed and happy and just shooting the shit with fans. Also, he recites poetry, and that is gorgeously adorable. ---

I’m always nervous to see new talks by my favorite authors. It’s so disappointing to find out more things about their books where they are wrong. 😉
