Does it even need to be said that Tolkien was a genius? To create such a world... to create five artificial languages, two of which are in no way inferior to any real language. Tolkien created the fantasy world in the form we know it today. My favorite book is "The Hobbit"; "The Silmarillion" is too... well, let's just say, overloaded; all the names don't fit in my head. "The Lord of the Rings" is a magnificent work.

А что я здесь делаю то?

Is it even necessary to say that Tolkien is a brilliant person?

No, but you've already annoyed everyone with your constant talk about Tolkien. His books are great, and I enjoyed them...

I don't know how much you need to love fantasy to read this completely... or at least have extraordinary patience.

And I don't see any genius in Tolkien himself. Apart from The Hobbit, there's nothing else to note.

Барон "Vampires"

Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!

Don't attribute The Silmarillion to Tolkien. After his death, his son collected all the unfinished drafts of future books, somehow pieced them together with a common plot, and published them.

Did the son take his mother’s or wife’s last name?

I understand that books are being discussed here, but I couldn't find a relevant topic: The servers for the LOTR BMiddle-E 2 game have closed; are only Hamachi channels left? Where can I find online games or simply replays of this game featuring skilled players?

Is it possible to upload to YouTube?

it’s not that easy to find actual matches there; mostly, you’ll find reviews, game overviews, gameplay footage, and cinematic trailers, etc.

Were you looking for fan sites for the game? There are probably similar sections there, on those forums as well.

Tolkien's books are great!
I've read "The Hobbit" and a bit of "The Silmarillion," and I'm currently reading "The Lord of the Rings."
The movies are also great.

Tolkien is a great fantasy writer. I actually prefer Howard, Donaldson, Oldie, Lovecraft, or even someone less well-known... But The Lord of the Rings is something special.
