How about this... last exam and THE Tolkien event of my lifetime. Yeah yeah yeah, you oldies will say "oh, it was so much more fun when the Silmarillion came out"... but odds are, this is the last time a "new" Tolkien book will come out... and man, am I excited about it.

Of course, right now that exam looms in the horizon like the shadow of a storm that's yet to come, so I'm not quite enjoying the prospect of writing it... yet, once it's done.... I'll have LOTS of time to dedicate to my new book... my own... my preciousssss.....

Oh yeah, I'm already going all Gollum-like over it.
