Lord of the Rings Online
The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) trilogy from JRR Tolkien got me reading regularly when I was 14. Actually it was the Hobbit, which then lead me to read the whole LOTR series. Recently I saw a post on twitter from SilkCharm about Lord of the Rings Online. On their www.lotro.com they describe themselves: "LOTRO is the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's...". I'm intrigued and have decided to buy a version of the game and see if it is any good. I remember playing a computer game based on the LOTR adventure years ago and it wasn't any good. I think the social aspect of an online game could make this interesting. I hope they are also taking use of a lot of the supporting materials written by Tolkien that never made it into any of his books but helped shape them during their creation.
