MORE TOLKIEN

NEW YORK (AP) -- An unfinished tale by J.R.R. Tolkien has been edited by his son into a completed work and will be released next spring, the U.S. and British publishers announced Monday.

Christopher Tolkien has spent the past 30 years working on "The Children of Hurin," an epic tale his father began in 1918 and later abandoned. Excerpts of "The Children of Hurin," which includes the elves and dwarves of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and other works, have been published before.

"It has seemed to me for a long time that there was a good case for presenting my father's long version of the legend of the 'Children of Hurin' as an independent work, between its own covers," Christopher Tolkien said in a statement.

The new book will be published by Houghton Mifflin in the United States and HarperCollins in England.

J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" has sold more than 50 million copies and was also adapted into a blockbuster, Academy Award-winning trio of films. A stage version is scheduled to open next year.

I DO ENJOY THE CHILDREN OF HURIN MYTH...I WONDER HOW MUCH NEW MATERIAL THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE.
 
I bet if you take the first word from the first six pages and put them together it reads:

I THINK MY SON IS WAXING HIMSELF


And if you take the second word from the first six pages it reads:

KNOW YOURSELF LITTLE PIG MOON TREE
 
And if you rearrange any of the letters in the book in any desired combination it would read "THE WERE-PIG KEVIN BACON WATCHED ME ATTACK SMALL CHILDREN WITH A BUTTERED HAM. WE ENJOYED JACK BAUER-THEMED SEX AFTERWARD WHILST TERRY WOGAN COOKED THE FIGS". THAT BASTARD CHRIS TOLKIEN.
 
If I ever write a bestseller, and then die, and then my kid rifles through the shit I deemed unsuitable for publishing and then TAKES 30 YEARS AND FINISHES IT AND PUBLISHES IT, I'd drown the little shit like the runt he is.
