Welcome to the Tolkien Sarcasm Page!

J.R.R. Tolkien, in writing his extraordinary books about Middle-earth, has succeeded in creating a world so finely-detailed and fully-realized that even now, over fifty years after The Lord of the Rings was first published, linguists and scholars still continue their avid research and debates about the world Tolkien has created. The Tolkien Sarcasm Page, one of the oldest bastions of Tolkien humor on the Web, is here to help Middle-earth historians everywhere take a break from those heated arguments about Glorfindel's bloodline and whether or not Thingol was a wise King.

It should be noted that, however much sarcasm they may inspire, the books are superb and well worth reading. (Indeed, they're much more worthwhile reading than this web-page is.)
