A view from Powell's Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world, occupying over 68,000 sq feet. DOOMED TO DIE: An A-Z of Death in Middle-earth by Tom Racine is a comical trip through every glorious way to meet your end in Tolkien's world. Equal parts dark humor and gorgeous, illustration!

Happy 49th Birthday to The Silmarillion, first published on September 15, 1977! The Silmarillion has a special place in the history of The Prancing Pony Podcast; Season 1 of the PPP began with this book, and for many listeners, it was also the beginning of their journey with the podcast.

Today, on the anniversary of his passing, the PPP community honors the life of J.R.R. Tolkien. His acts of subcreation gave us an entire world where we can find escape, recovery, and consolation. Today, let us sing with the minstrel at Cormallen:
