On the pop scene, I noticed a new paperback edition of The Worm Ouroborous in Barnes & Noble. This is a gorgeous, violent fantasy novel written by E.R. Eddison in (I think) the 1920s. Tolkien admired it, though it is rather far from the flavor of his own work. But it's been out of print for years. For hard-core fantasy readers, this is a great opportunity: a definite Need 2 Read.
