Just been having a bad day today – and from the midst of it all, almost forgot to blog about Lord of the Rings Day. I do this every year on the blog (I think), recalling two things: how great *Lord of the Rings* was, and how even better something else is. Last year, and I'm making no effort to check, it had to have been one of Steven Erikson's books, possibly from the *Malazan* series. I've got nothing else to add this year. The *Malazan* series is still the best in my books, and if you're into epic fantasy fiction and haven't read it yet: boo. I would also highly recommend the Warcraft lore.

Customary recap: March 25 every year is Lord of the Rings Day – a.k.a. Tolkien Day and Lord of the Rings Reading Day – because, in the books, that's the day on which the One Ring is taken into the fires of Orodruin (or Mount Doom or Amon Amarth) by Gollum/Smeagol from the finger of Frodo Baggins. It was the year 3019 of the Third Age and augured the end of the War of the Ring. On this day, let's read a chapter or two from the trilogy and remember what an enlightening experience reading the books was.
