As I don't understand any russian*
I went off searching for the absolutely brilliant BBC "Jackanory 3000" adaptation. It's nowhere to be found! Apparently, according to the Wikipedia, the "Tolkien Estate" has repeatedly blocked the BBC from issuing a DVD of it. Bastards.

Yeah
I'll actually have to read the book now. By myself. With my eyes and brain.
And their website is crap, with an update promised "soon" in "2009".

I recommend David Day's Guide to Tolkien.
Goes into all the lore and things, but unlike the original novels is very, very readable.

Cheers for the heads up
I was looking into taking my son to the pictures to watch the new one tonight, but's it would cost over £25 - and I don't even want to watch it in 3-bloody-D!
I'm off to the book shop!
*I could get 6 launches for that much and still have change for a beer in the clubhouse after!

I thought it was fun, but I still hate 3D
Might go see it again in 2D if I get the chance.
Oh and there's a gliding club near where I'm moving to in January, hoping to get a course going :D
