A Simple Request

We give a lot at MRHP and rarely do we ask our readers to give back. In support of our recent book launch we would very much appreciate it if you could like and spread the word of our FB fanpage for the book. If you are feeling even more generous why not go absolutely fucking insane and purchase a copy. You will not regret it :-)

Nobel Prize Jury Calls Lord Of Rings Poor Writing


What seems like a lack of foresight and expected snobbery on behalf of the Nobel committee, showing awards influence little on the propagation of pieces of work into the world. C.S Lewis made famous by Alice in Wonderland had put up his friend JRR Tolkien for nomination. One Anders Österling, a snobby and bitter literary critic dismissed JRR Tolkien who he judges as having "not in any way measured up to storytelling of the highest quality" I should note he also shunned Robert Frost for being too old. Which is much more outrageous then JRR Tolkiens omission for "poor prose". Who thought you would find ageism with one of the highest awards in literature! Absurd I know! Even in sports such as boxing, men in their late forties have won championships such as everyone's favourite George Foreman. Imagine if they were chastised for being too old. And they took their awards away!
