Gonna relax while slowly working on all the books and stuff. (mainly those that are within the Tolkien's [[J.R.R. Tolkien#Bibliography|catalogue]])
It is finished. The goal that I set out to achieve has been accomplished: To let there be a book list which is both '''concise''' and '''complete''' in covering all of Tolkien's major published materials; and to revamp most of their pages so that they are at least decent enough.


(Obviously, much work remains to be done, like the pages of ''hobbit'', ''TLotR'', ''Silmarillion'', ''Unfinished tales'', not to mention all 22 issues of ''Parma Eldalamberon''. But those can wait, since they are either too messy or too hard to obtain, Time will tell how future goes.)


<!-- Books included here must:
As for now, I '''am''' satisfied regarding all things about Tolkien. Now I will turn my attention to another thing that I've meant to do, a thing that has far greater significance: To continue my study on the '''[[wikipedia:Theosophy|Theosophical Literature]]'''. Friends, if you are interested, check out [https://www.anandgholap.net/index.html this list of books] on the topics of '''Theosophy''', which would definitely be a New World opened before you.
1. have a distinguished book form and are widely accessible TO THIS DAY;
 
2. mainly focus on or based on Tolkien's OWN writings (not art);
Peace to you, my brothers and sisters.
3. have significant amount of unique Tolkien's writings that do not appear elsewhere (except compilations).
 
this is the culmination of my recent studies

Revision as of 10:24, 11 August 2022

A fella who sees the greatness in that which was manifested through J.R.R. Tolkien's pen.


It is finished. The goal that I set out to achieve has been accomplished: To let there be a book list which is both concise and complete in covering all of Tolkien's major published materials; and to revamp most of their pages so that they are at least decent enough.

(Obviously, much work remains to be done, like the pages of hobbit, TLotR, Silmarillion, Unfinished tales, not to mention all 22 issues of Parma Eldalamberon. But those can wait, since they are either too messy or too hard to obtain, Time will tell how future goes.)

As for now, I am satisfied regarding all things about Tolkien. Now I will turn my attention to another thing that I've meant to do, a thing that has far greater significance: To continue my study on the Theosophical Literature. Friends, if you are interested, check out this list of books on the topics of Theosophy, which would definitely be a New World opened before you.

Peace to you, my brothers and sisters.
