I'm not lazy, I just can't figure the right category for this post. Found a Newsweek special edition yesterday at Walmart. I'm guessing it release is related to the news that Amazon Prime is going to do a 5 season series. It's even mentioned in the magazine. I was surprised that it has a picture of him with his pipe on the cover.  |

Yeah, both of these came out in April 2017, the Sherlock was listed at $17.00 at the store, Tolkien was $11.00.... Tolkien for $6.99 shipped and Sherlock for $10 shipped on Ebay. I bought mine in March 2017...me wondered if maybe a magazine distributor was pilfering...   |

The one I posted just came out. It talks about the Amazon Prime series and that was just announced a couple of weeks ago.

First, I am glad they showed Tolkien smoking, as it was an important part of his life. I am actually shocked they showed him smoking. I just pray to God that Amazon stays true to his vision of Middle Earth and avoids the temptation to "modernize it" and fill it full of SJW crap.

Probably not too many pictures of Tolkien without a pipe!  |

I grew up on Tolkien, and the Hobbit showed me that the temptation is strong with the Dark Side. |
