read all of J.R.R. Tolkien's works

...the more you’ll enjoy the in-depth studies found in many of the manuscript collections, so heads up! Not everything was just a tale in Tolkien. He remains my favorite author to this day, though, and one of the proudest moments in my life was to see that a paper of mine on astronomy in Tolkien that was cowritten with a friend was cited by Christopher Tolkien in one of those collections. A wonderful feeling.
