Sacnoth's Scriptorium: The Game of Opposites
http://sacnoths.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-game-of-opposites.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The Game of Opposites. So, I came up with an odd sort of word game while I was finishing up my Wms paper.*. Here's the challenge: what word least describes an Inkling? For Williams, the one who got me started on this slightly odd line of thought, I'd opt for 'sincere' or 'sincerity', or perhaps 'straightforward': to read his letters is to get a sense that he was always playing a role, always assuming a persona.

Sacnoth's Scriptorium: April 2015
http://sacnoths.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. I Am Reviewed (in Dutch). So, thanks to McFarland (thanks Lori) I've now seen the interview of the Shippey festschrift (AUTHOR OF THE NEW CENTURY) that appeared in LEMBAS (vol. 35, whole number 168, March 2015, pages 32-25), the journal of the Dutch Tolkien society, Unquendor. In addition to being one of the five editors of this collection, I am myself one of contributors as well, so I was curious what they thought of my piece as well as the book as a whole. 3) Uiteraard gemode...

Sacnoth's Scriptorium: July 2015
http://sacnoths.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. So, yesterday was a travel day, first to fly to Denver and then to drive down to Colorado Springs, site of this weekend's MYTHCON (at the Hotel Elegante). The evening yesterday was devoted to unpacking and settling in. Wanting to be well-rested for the con, we made an early night of it, which turned out to be a good choice. There are plenty of interesting things to see and do in this area, from the modern-day reconstruction of cliff-dwellings and a chance to feed giraffes at the ...

Sacnoth's Scriptorium: We Take Stay-cation on the Road (wind farms and yurts)
http://sacnoths.blogspot.com/2014/08/we-take-stay-cation-on-road-wind-farms.html
Thursday, August 14, 2014. We Take Stay-cation on the Road (wind farms and yurts). And the others saw a single meteor flash by (I missed it) before that area was blotted out as well. Still, it was a pleasant night to sit out and look up. Pass through, grazing on the green green (sprinkler-watered) grass that v. much stood out from the surrounding typical western/central Washington dry, bleak landscape. It was a great vacation while it lasted, and did us both good. It's amazing how many interesting th...

Tuesday, November 25, 2014. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE HOBBIT arrives. Http:/ www.harpercollins.co.uk/9780007557257/a-brief-history-of-the-hobbit. And here's another to its entry on amazon.co.uk.

http://sacnoths.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. Book Group (CARNACKI THE GHOST-FINDER). For example, I was reading a hardcover (the 'Mycroft and Moran' Arkham House edition), in which the first story is "The Thing Invisible", the one about the haunted knife, while Janice (and Yvette) were reading it on the Kindle, in which the first story is "The Gateway of the Monster/Whistling Room". The two sequences are as follows:. The Find", and (last and among the least) "The Hog". Just started: THE SHADOW OF REICHENBACH FALLS by Joh...
