A unpublished manuscript from Tolkien is being published. It's a Norse mythology story (C.S. Lewis was obsessed for a long time with Norse mythology).

Old news. Heard about it already. (website for Lord of the Rings freaks: www.thelastalliance.com (go to the forums)) And it would be "AN" at the beginning. And the first sentence is kind of an oximoron. And did you mean J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis was obsessed for a long time with Norse mythology.
C.S. Lewis was obsessed, right before he converted to Christianity. The winter of the White Witch in Narnia may reflect some of that.
Is that all you're going to reply about? Just going to ignore everything else, huh?
Ms. Michelle, is Norse mythology kind of like a religion? Because I noticed that you said he liked it before he became Christian...
Norse Mythology is the stories of the Nordic people of Northern Europe that worship a variety of pagan gods.
They are very similar to Greek and Roman mythology stories (Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Artemis etc).
QUIT IGNORING ME!!!
Oh okay, now I understand. That's interesting that C.S. Lewis used to be literally OBSESSED with it. I'm just happy that he finally realized the truth about our REAL God. :)
And Matthew, we still love ya! It's just that I asked a school-like related question. ;) Lol.
so now school comes before ME?!?! HOW COULD YOU?
Because school will actually GET me somewhere in life. YOU won't...jk!!
WE LOOOVE YOU MATTHEW!!
