LOTR Geekaziods Rejoice!

There is a new (actually old, since Tolkien died in 1973) Tolkien fantasy book. WooHoo!! Wait Wait. "The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun", is not actually written by Tolkien but, as I intereprete the news story, more of a reworking, translation type thing. But it does give you more access to Norse Mythologies. I think I've read somewhere that Lord of the Rings was also based on these stories, it didn't all just pop out of Tolkiens head, at least the idea for some of the characters. He did write LOTR, unlike Sigurd and Gudrun. So therefore, its all still good. The book will also have an intro written by Tolkien, and some notes from his son (but who cares about Tolkien Jr, really, no offense).
