I’ll have to pick up UT. Another interesting lookin on his development, particularly of the Silmarillion (book) is in CS Lewis’s Out of the Silent Planet, which borrows so terms and ideas from Tolkien’s early cosmology.

I’ve read zero Lewis. I grew up on the teat of post-WW2 sci-fi, and so came upon JRRT in my late 20s. My High Fantasy growing up was Herbert, Clarke, and Gygax.

Good stuff, that. Lewis’s Space Trilogy is reall just fiction that happens to be set (the first two books, anyway) in space. If you read it, don’t try to turn it into Sci-Fi

It’s too bad Kilgore Trout wasn’t a real sci-fi writer. I woulda read the shit out of him.

It's a huge selling point when an author will interact with people like this. I'm excited to get it. Now my wife will know what to get my for birthday/Christmas, which she often struggles with. So this is a win for me.

Have her get both books. They will suck you in and you'll find yourself bleary-eyed but satisfied before you know it.
