You know you love an author and his world when you decide to 'finish' the work he said that he did not want to write because it would ruin the generally happy ending of his series

Honestly, good for him. Sounds like a dream come true and his is absolutely one of the biggest LOTR nerds on earth. And it keeps him away from politics.
fakenews comm is thataway ------->
i hope he consults actual experts on the subject matter... what am i saying, he wont.
eh, every time i've heard him show off his expertise, it turned out he knew less than me and i'm nowhere near an expert.
he's definitely read the silmarillion (probably a few times at least) but that alone isnt much.
He can list all the names of Aragorn, Elessar, called Elfstone! Call me when he's talking about the recurring themes of 'The Machine' which destroys all beauty and life for power and profit
ah, but does he know about trotter and ingold?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I hope so too. But honestly, I think what is clear is that Colbert has a lot of reverence for LoTR. So, he just might.
