Rebecca's Reading RoomToasting the ProfessorAs in years past, January 3rd is a special evening. Don and I joined other J.R.R. Tolkien fans from around the world in raising a glass to toast the birthday of this much loved author, J.R.R. Tolkien, at precisely 21:00 (9:00pm) local time. I have chosen a special combination of cranberry juice and soda for the occasion.The toast is simply “The Professor”. The Professor J.R.R. Tolkien, author of the classical mythological world of The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings, and The Silmarillion, created a collection of legends set in a fictional universe.  He once said that “War deepened and sobered my imagination and stimulated my love of fantasy.”  The months in the trenches of WWI made a lasting impression, which is reflected within his writings.  Even so, J.R.R. Tolkien did not yield to despondency.  His response was to embrace life as a remarkable adventure to be experienced abundantly and completely.In today’s tumultuous world, Tolkien’s narratives offer an escape to fantastical realms where courage and hope prevail. His stories remind us of the strength found in friendship and the potential for personal growth. His writing reflects deep philosophical and moral questions, encouraging us to contemplate our values, choices, and the nature of power and its consequences.<blockquote>“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring</blockquote> The Professor <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/birthdays/" target="_blank">#Birthdays</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/books/" target="_blank">#books</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/fantasy/" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/j-r-r-tolkien/" target="_blank">#JRRTolkien</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/literature/" target="_blank">#literature</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/rebeccas-reading-room/" target="_blank">#RebeccaSReadingRoom</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/the-hobbit/" target="_blank">#theHobbit</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/tag/tolkien/" target="_blank">#tolkien</a>
