When roommates and literature collide

[anjilly]

So my roommate says she needs to read me a bedtime story. She's weird like that. I told her I needed to read Children of Hurin for Tolkien class, and that she wouldn't be able to read Tolkien to me. She claims that she can, because Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are friends and she's currently reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for her English

*snickers* That's hilarious. I do love Silmarillion humor. There's so many opportunities to poke fun at so many characters and events... XD

Hahaha.
I wouldn't attempt to read Tolkien aloud unprepared, ever. Great stories, but the names require thinking about.

*is amused* I tend to pronounce everything in Tolkien as if it were Spanish. Which has results probably a long way from what he wanted, but they're results~
And I got my Spanish teacher to read the Silm and I don't think he can pronounce anything in there at all. The only reason he agreed was because I had been making fun of him for thinking Earendil was a girl's name~ XD

And that ended up fairly random. Oh well!
