Okasy, I have to do this genius report on someone so i chose Tolkien. Hehe! So obsessed. ANd i learned some really cool things. The tale of Beren and Luthien is supposed to be GTolkien and his wife Edith and on their grave, it says Beren and Luthien. Jow sweet! Also, the book i read said that Tolkien made Bilbo after him. He smoked and wasn't full of many worries. and lastly, i learned that at first, right aftger the hobbit was published, his publishers wanted a sequel so he started writing, and he was going to name the main character Bingo Baggins. Hehe! He didn't like that so he decided on Bingo Bolger Baggins or something like that. I can't quite remember. Finlly he did Frodo. Thank god! Bingo?

Whatever book you have read, the author seems to have jumped to conclusions. I recommend Letters.

That's why Artanis said to get "Letters."

yeah, because "Letters" is actually Tolkien's words and thoughts, not someone else trying to interpret them.
