JK Rowling wrote for children

JRR Tolkein wrote for adults

Both created worlds

Tolkein takes more imagination and higher intellect to "get it"

Neither are nor ever will be taught in American high school English; Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets won't replace MacBeth

Tolkien wrote for children. All three are taught at the high school and college level.

Not in NY, not in the last 4 years.

I have no idea what that means.

No, he didn't. The Hobbit was
a kid's story, LOTR was for Chris that was serving with the RAF in Africa in the 40's.

 

[Sean]

Actually, LOTR was originally written as an experiment in language.

 

[KRCummings]

No, he didn't. The Hobbit was

That doesn't jibe with the history of the books.

Neither of you fuckmonkeys will see it, but you're both wrong. Tolkien wrote LOTR at the behest of his publisher following the success of The Hobbit. He sent them to his son, Christopher, in South Africa, but they weren't written for him.

 

[QueenLevitra]

Shut up, Cade.

Mlobsy is beyond tedium.

My knowledge of Tolkien pisses all over wiki.

 

[KRCummings]

Try again.

Christopher Tolkien joined the RAF in 1945.
LOTR began in 1937 when the publishers wanted a sequel. You're thinking of him sending parts of it to his son while he was in the RAF. It was not meant soley for him at any point.
And yes, I Googled/Wiki'd.

My dic is bigger than wiki's,

that's all that matters.

Nah, Tolkien is the only thing I don't have to Google.

Tolkien wanted to write The Silmarillion. His publishers wanted a Hobbit sequel. He wrote LOTR as "an account of the end before the beginning and middle had been told".

Good. Me and babysitter pass the fight onto you two...

Rhetorical equivalent: "Stupid policeman caught me the one time in five years I wasn't speeding."

= Uh-huh.

 

[Instant_Star]

Smart, well read girls are sooooooo hot!

Can I be jealous of your boyfriend now, or should a wait?

I wouldn't call myself well read.

I'd wait on being jealous of the boy, I could say something really stupid in the near future.
