    Hail and well met, TBS! I have been lurking about your burgeoning shelves, and have enjoyed the scenery. I see you are in "La-La Land" (OK, now riposte with anything you would like to say about New Jersey - LOL)... are you familiar with Dr. Leslie Ellen Jones at UCLA? She is an authority on Celtic Mythology, and a Tolkien scholar/author. I have at least one of her books, and saw her in an A&E production on the LOTR, if memory serves. Hope to converse with you soon, best regards, Sieur Jehan

    Well, I've finished reading 'Necropolis"...it's an engaging enough study into London's funereal history, though I would have preferred it to have been a little more in-depth. I'd be interested to see what you make of it, once you get a chance to read it.

    I've always wanted to visit Highgate Cemetery; but despite countless trips to London, have yet to find the time.

    Re: "Necropolis: London and Its Dead"! -- I haven't started it yet, but I'm quite intrigued by it.
