If you're a Tolkien (The Hobbit, LOTR) fan and are learning or want to learn Irish
Gaeilge, then I have excellent news if you haven't heard it already.

The Hobbit is now available in Irish. I wrote a review here:

The Hobbit Or There And
Back Again

Best news I've heard all week (and with Tolkien's love of Irish and its influence on his own invented languages, I bet the man himself is smiling above too) - go raibh míle maith agat! :D
