A Secret Vice by J.R.R. Tolkien

5.0

I read this on the flight back from a conference and loved it. As a conlanger, it was interesting to revisit the historical origins of the West's most well known one and learn more about his thoughts. I have always been more into understanding Tolkien's creative process than in LotR, and the Introduction was good and focused, totally accessible to a linguistics-minded person who has only read LotR once.
