A student inquired: "What did J.R.R. Tolkien have for breakfast?"
The truth is that every morning, for breakfast, Tolkien slurped seven raw eggs through his pipe. This diet gave him his extraordinary strength and good health.
He also liked to eat his wife Edith's home-grown ananas. When he was working, Tolkien radiated so much energy that, despite the cold English weather, tropical fruits flourished in his garden!
Is it a good, difficult or bad day to read Tolkien?
