It's winter, which means I'm thinking about The Lord of the Rings. Again. The holiday releases of Peter Jackson's film trilogy means I'll forever associate cold weather, short days, and warm fires with Middle-earth and Frodo's journey to Mt. Doom. So, this February, I decided it was time to reprint my Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog feature exploring why The Lord of the Rings has remained so relevant decades after its release, and how it's a different story every time we read it. This is part of my ongoing initiative to archive my work at Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog, which sadly shut down a few years ago.
