New Harper Collins Tolkien site

[Pitchwife]

Thanks for that link, davem! The video is wonderful - I don't think I'd ever tire of hearing Chris talk about his father's work (just have to love that occasional hint of a quirky smile at the edges of his mouth!). What I found especially insightful up to now (I'm only about halfway through watching it) was the part about The Machine vs Art as the central theme of LotR - I guess we're all aware of that by now, but it's nice to hear it put so succinctly and have the public reminded that LotR isn't just a source for fantasy roleplaying and movie merchandise, but a work of literature written by a contemporary of Rilke and Heidegger, treating in mythological form much of the same issues that were on the mind of the great modern critics of modernity.

As for the site itself, was anybody else amused by seeing People of Middle-Earth and other parts of HoME grouped under 'Non-fiction'?
