J.R.R Tolkien hasn't let death stop him from giving us more literary gems!

His son, Christopher, found the the unpublished manuscript entitled The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún and it is now on sale.

The book includes two, long narrative poems written in traditional Norse meter. It's said to be a difficult read, but a true Tolkien fan will relish in the joy of the nerdom.

Tolkien and Tupac Shakur should colloborate and make a Norse rap album or something.

      So,
      J.R. Tolkien is a celebrated author; his work is almost a century old. (The Silmarillion was written in 1917.)
      Tupac is an emo-douchebag cleverly disguised as a gangster rapper. (Listen to his songs, he mainly focused on his own inevitable death in his lyrics.)

      Why would anyone consider a joining of these two persons? Also, why is Tolkien literature considered Geek food? Tolkien pre-dates dungeons and dragons by half a century.
