Folks, join me tomorrow, Sat., Mar 25 at 9:00a PT, as I do a LIVE Tolkien Reading Day event on the PPP's TikTok (where I'm also @ prancingponypod). I've got a couple of passages related to this year's theme of Travel & Adventure ready to go, but will also be taking requests!
@prancingponypod Really really enjoyed your selections on the podcast this week. All I would ask for is more of “the road goes ever on” stuff. One other thing - you guys were talking about how in Tolkien travel is not a vacation, but sometimes in real life it can be an adventure too!
@prancingponypod Sure going to an island and relaxing on a beach is one thing. But backpacking through Europe, or trying to find film locations in New Zealand, or going camping in the American west… etc etc sure it’s not the same as dodging trolls and balrogs, but it’s not always relaxing!
@prancingponypod Anyway, I don’t know about specific readings per say, but maybe a selection of landscape descriptions, and/or some of the culture of Rivendell which really reminds me of a hostel or national park lodge where strangers gather to rest and trade stories. The Prancing Pony inn too!
