You want to know another thing that MySpace is good for? Exposure to things you might not otherwise have noticed. Case in point: The Children of Hurin, the newest book from J.R.R. Tolkien, as written by his son Christopher Tolkien from the elder's old notes.

Anyone who's read The Silmarillion knows the tale since it was mentioned in passing, but this is a version where everything is laid out in greater detail. And I didn't hear anything about it until today... Has anyone else picked it up, and if you did what did you think?
