There and Back Again

Wherein I share highlights from previous years of Jokien with Tolkien

Easter was a bit later in 2023 than this year, so this time last year I shared this brief reflection on Sam’s first encounter with Gandalf the White and how it connects to Easter at the beginning of last April.

• Special shout-out and thank you to Irene, Andrew F, Jay L, David P, Fran V, Bethany R, Claire H, and Matthew P, who all upgraded to a paid subscription to the Jokien with Tolkien: Extended Edition this week!

  To join them in receiving extra content several times a month and in helping to make giveaways like the one I just ran for Tolkien Reading Day possible, sign up for the Extended Edition here:

• This week I discovered

  The Fellowship of the Readers
  , a Substack project where subscribers can follow the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings chronologically in real time over the course of a year.
  
  Participants can follow along either passively by receiving the posts on the days that events from the books occur — e.g. "Today on April 12th Gandalf reached Hobbiton — or actively by also reading each chapter along with each post as the events of the books unfold.
  

  The first post will be sent out next week on April 12th: subscribe now to start the journey from the beginning!

• Looking for more humor on Substack? Check out

  Thalia's God Tier News
  , your Substack source for satirical news on everything from sports to entertainment to drama at Olympus (no jokes about politics though).
  

  Here’s a recent piece I enjoyed interviewing several characters about their response to the prospect of AI taking their jobs:
