This Week at the Library. The literary journeys of a would-be Renaissance man, exploring history, philosophy, science, religion, economics, art, and fiction.

Musings of a Tolkienist: Gundabad - What was that exactly?
http://musingsofatolkienist.blogspot.com/2015/01/gundabad-what-was-that-exactly.html
January 12, 2015. Gundabad - What was that exactly? The Battle of the Five Armies" spoiler warning! The Battle of the Five Armies surprised me in many ways. I already dealt with the most jarring embellishment, the Were-worms, in an earlier post. Gundabad as seen in "The Battle of the Five Armies". The realm of Angmar circled in red. ("Suza" marks. Where the Shire lay.). In the year 2941 T.A. it had once again become the capital of the orcs and goblins in the North. Second, the filmmakers add some backsto...

Smithy of the Written Word: Glamour, March 2008
http://smithyofthewrittenword.blogspot.com/2008/06/r-glamour-march-2008.html
Smithy of the Written Word. Glamour, March 2008. However, the March 2008 issue of Glamour. Differentiated itself a little, in a good way. Several pages in it caught my eye, over the shoulder of the girl (JMU alum, class of 03) sitting next to me on the plane ride back from Portugal in mid-March. By that time stores were selling the April issue already, and it’s taken me until now to track down a copy, courtesy of my local library. And ‘Sexy Hair in 10 Minutes or Less’ (‘Believe it! I couldn’t agree...

Classical Carousel: Guardian's 1000 Novels
http://cleoclassical.blogspot.com/p/guardians-1000-novels.html
It's very rare that I find a list of must-read books that I like or agreed with but I was very impressed with the Guardian's list of 1000 books. It covers so many eras and genres and even has a few obscure, yet excellent books that are not often recorded in other "top" lists. I will slowly make my way through this list to expand my reading diet! Guardian's 1000 Novels Everyone Must Read. Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle. The Adventures of Augie March. The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom. By Grand Ce...
