TOLKIEN'S HOME UP FOR SALE

Fans of "The Lord of the Rings" can now buy the home where much of the trilogy was written.

Writer JRR Tolkien's former house in Oxford, England, is to be put on the market next week at an estimated $2.7 million.

The six-bedroom house, which is close to Oxford University, was Tolkien's home for 17 years.

If you were a writer I imagine that would either be a real inspiration or it would be really daunting to live in his house.

It would be cool though.

That's interesting...Doesn't he still have kids around? Or at least grandkids, surprised some of the relatives don't want to keep it for themselves

Perhaps their broke

Yea that would do it!

I highly doubt that they are broke.

I think that the government should by it and make it an historical landmark. Preserve literary history. Like a museum of sorts.

That would be really cool heather Course maybe Tolkien didn't want it that way
