Happy Tolkien Day!
Do you know your Hobbitses from your Uruk-hai? Your Rivendell from Mordor? Your Gandalf the Grey from Gandalf the White?
Now's the time to put your Middle Earth trivia knowledge to the test: It's Tolkien Day.
The good folks at The Guardian have a Tolkien-specific quiz up to celebrate.
Sample question:
'They stooped over the dark water. At first they could see nothing. Then slowly they saw the forms of the encircling mountains mirrored in a profound blue, and the peaks were like plumes of white flame above them; beyond there was a space of sky. There like jewels sunk in the deep shone glinting stars, though sunlight was in the sky above. Of their own stooping forms no shadow could be seen.' Where are Gimli and Frodo?
Channel your inner Stephen Colbert, take the quiz and then let us know how you did. Book Business, we're sad to say, scored just 3 out of 10.
