This interview with a Lit prof (and acquaintance of Tolkien) emphasizes the philosophical ideas of power and sacrifice, in contradistinction to a notion of the books as a silly sword-and-sorcery wizards' war.
See you Monday.

Alive and Well (Tolkien, That Is)
About the time this article came out in the November 1972 Campus Life, I had already read the Lord of the rings (and The Hobbit, natch) a time or two.
Some of you campers may not know that Campus Life was a magazine from Youth for Christ that in those mid-'70s was fun and not too tragically unhip.

How Many Super Books Do YOU Have?
This survey of books about the Man of Steel is a little outdated. It's from Amazing Heroes #136, cover-dated February 29, 1988. Surely some of you cool cats know that date represents Superman's 50th birthday!
Hailing from the era before at-your-finger computeristic databases, the stories selected for reprint are an interesting mélange.
See you Thursday!
