Mae Govannen !

I apologize for straying from the topic of this thread, but I need advice which perhaps Sharon - or any other of you learned people - could give to me. Which biography of Tolkien would you recommend me to read - by H.Carpenter or by T.Shippey ? (Those are the ones they had in the English bookstore here in Zürich) So far, I`ve only read a brief one in German, by Michael Nagula.
Thank you in advance for troubling to answer!

Suilad, Guinevere

PS Hi, Stone of vision!
Jàime bien votre poème, quoiqu`il soit assez mystérieux . Elle est si belle, la langue française, mais malheureusement si difficile ! And that`s probably why I prefer English!
