Michael Moorcock is not a fan of Tolkien.
NotN: ASCAP demands payment when your phone rings; Students to finish degrees by "any means necessary".
Yesterday was nyecamden's birthday, so several of us went to Indian Veg in Angel. You fill your own plate, gather your own drinks and pay at the end. The walls are covered in vegetarian propaganda. It reminded me of eating at the Hare Krishnas in my dissolute student bum youth. We were particularly enamoured with the misplaced comma which said that "pink" was just the thing for the prostate. Nye got a smugness photo of me on one side and the luscious
inspirewithhope on the other.
Today I have been an inert amoebalike blob, modulo the considerable demands of a toddler. As ever.

Date: 2009-06-25 08:47 am (UTC)When Moorcock tries to write (Mother London for example) he writes damn well. Something you certainly can't say about Tolkein who wouldn't get a gig writing advertising for a local paper.

Can that really be news to people. His essay is (in)famous.

I have Castle Brass, Dancers and the end of Time and the Elric books from memory. And some short stories.

Date: 2009-06-25 03:47 pm (UTC)In think Mr Anderson was resurrecting Mr Herbert.
I read one of *those* books. I did not read any others,
I have a number of the Chris "Reanimator" Tolkien books.
In case.
Simarillion and the appendix rocked. YMMV.
