The Silmarillion revisited
Salon thinks Tolkien's bible of Middle Earth is worth another look. Not quite sure why the article talks about John Gardner like he's alive though. (Salon link)

By virtue of aesthetics alone, this new volume of "The Silmarillion" should bring a great many more readers into fuller appreciation of not only the book but also Tolkien's universe at large. Exquisitely illustrated by Ted Naismith, who worked on Robert Foster's "Complete Guide to Middle Earth," this new edition is the model of what a 21st century, ancient cosmological text should look like, if that makes any sense. I feel almost silly for saying it, but it's a really pretty book: From the typescript to the spacious layout -- not to mention the extremely useful appendixes of genealogical tables, notes on Elvish pronunciation, indexes of names, and linguistic elements of Tolkien's two Elvish tongues -- the publishers have done well to give Tolkien's saga a tangible feeling of the momentous mythological history its author meant it to be.

Tolkien vs. Lewis
Cage match!

CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien were the closest of friends, one struggling to make his fantasy world of Middle Earth a literary reality, the other trying to convince friends his first book about Narnia deserved to be published.

But new research has revealed that their friendship was riven by the most bitter and personal of rows on everything from literature to religion and even their choice of spouse.

I just reread His Dark Materials, all the Harry Potters, the Chronicles of Narnia... and I'm thinking I should move on to something new.

Recommendations please? I'm new to the world of fantasy, but as long as it's well-written, I'll give it a go.

Thanks!
