Countdown to Reading Group Discussion of Lord of The Rings

with my entirely unjustifiable, idiosyncratic reading of the "ring" itself

I’m not going to get Wagnerian, but it will be epic, allegorical, open ended and all about the impasse of the Left academic in the 1990s. I will be talking a bit about Tolkien’s opposition of industrial vs. pastoral beings and the promotion of rural idiocy, but I can’t wait to talk about all of this with you.
