Tolkien's Literary Executor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't know. I'd be interested to read it myself. A will is after all just a legal document. With many other writers, we have just about everything, including private diaries, to read, so we actually don't have that much to read that was personal of Tolkien's. I don't really think his diaries would be much help to us anyway, as they'd just give us more to argue about, knowing how contradictory diaries can be when we're just writing about our feelings on any given day!
