Entertainment: Books: Biographies of J.R.R. Tolkien
Anyone who has done even scant research on John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892 – 1973) knows that even though he was a very private man, there is no shortage of biographical information about this famous British writer and medievalist. Hardcover, paperback, digital and audiobooks, letters, and other materials abound. His son, Christopher Tolkien (1924 - 2020) was is extremely protective of the legacy of his father and has only ever authorized one official biography. His father is highly respected as a literary hero and a mythmaker, and he wanted to keep it that way!

Understandable, however, that did not stop others from publishing their unauthorized unofficial versions. (Even moi! I tried my hand at publishing an unauthorized biographical sketch.) These unapproved life stories (see listing below.) are just as appreciated by Tolkien fans, as the approved biography written by Humphrey Carpenter. Furthermore, the commercialization of “all things Tolkien” may have started with the success of the “Lord of the Rings” books, but when these works were adapted to film, Tolkien fever infected the masses around the world. A loyal Tolkien-ite can not only build their own personal library, but can purchase puzzles, games, collectibles, and more!!

People We Like to Quote: Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
The Right Honourable
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) KG OM CH TD PCc DL FRS RA, was a military hero and British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. ( Wikipedia )
I take your point Sir Churchill. Your reference to "hell" is a descriptive term, a figure of speech to describe an horrific ordeal that someone is enduring and they must stay strong, persevere and keep pushing forward in order to overcome.
However, with regard to the real hell? Nobody goes through it. If they end up there it's their final destination. They can't escape and they can't turn back. They can't complain that there was an error in their travel itinerary and that they had been dropped off at the wrong place! They can't even bribe whoever put them in there to let them back out. For one thing, if they were rich, they were not able to bring their money with them. Ask the Pharaohs or ask Paul. Also, the living whom they left behind can't pay for them to get out of hell either through a convenient system of indulgences. (Geez! And you think insurance in America is a rip off!)
Churchill quotes are food for thought.
If I were setting up my own personal private library, I would make sure to have at least one book on the shelf with his quotes. 📕📕

The Chocolate Lady's Book Reviews: Five (or seven) GOOD things to come out of 2016 (Reblog)
Happy to reblog and share this Featured Post from a fellow blogger, Davida Chazan, who is a "Go To" person if you're searching for good reads. Here is her suggested reading for 2016:
The Chocolate Lady's Book Reviews: Five (or seven) GOOD things to come out of 2016
Her reviews and other writings are so good I invited her to contribute to my group board on Pinterest: Freelance Writer. We crossed paths because we both contribute short posts to a site called "Daily Two Cents". This site has a revenue-share plan for those who have a Google Ad Sense account and allows you to earn 100% of your commissions, if your post includes an affiliate referral link. It's reasonable. Don't you think? This is the link to her DTC profile: drchazan aka Chocolate Lady.
(This is my DTC author profile, if you're interested: cmoneyspinner, if you're interested.)
Book lovers will probably appreciate her faves lists for previous years too!
I love her blog's tagline. It reads:
What a hook! So of course I had to find something chocolate at her blog. Found it!

The REAL Chocolate Wars
It's all because of Ms. Brenner's writing style. Ms. Brenner brings even the very mundane into the world of extreme interest. She makes much out of the intrigue so that although it's really economics, it's still interesting. She works her way around marketing so that it's suddenly as moving as a love scene.
