But what is Tolkien Reading Day?

Tolkien Reading Day began in 2003 as a way to encourage people to read the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. His writing is phenomenal, but it's the story behind the stories that hits home. Largely based on his experiences during the world wars, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are symbolic pieces.

It was interesting to find out that there is a whole society of Tolkien followers out there. If interested, you can visit the The Tolkien Society on their website for more information.

Near Miss Day - Hobbit Be Gone

It's Near Miss Day, and I just an interesting article on the Tolkien Society Page about the prolific writer, J. R. R. Tolkien. Apparently, he suffered a bout of trench fever and was sent to a military hospital days before he would have fought in a battle. The battle turned out to be a bloody one with many lives lost. Who's to say Tolkien wouldn't have died in that battle? If so, then he would have never written The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. I'd say it was a near miss....
