Just so people know, a few things to take care of just so you know. J.R.R. Tolkien's FULL name is: John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Naturally, you'd think he'd go by "John" but he didn't. That was his first legal namel, but by friends and family he was addressed as: Ronald.
Another thing, Tolkien is pronounced: Tol-ken. So many people pronounce it wrong, it drives me crazy.
