Mithlond is a Tolkien and fantasy literature discussion group affiliated with the Mythopoeic Society. Our purpose is to read, discuss, and better understand the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and fantasy literature in general. We meet in the Seattle area on the third Sunday of each month at 3 p.m. in the homes of members. If you're interested in joining us, contact Matt Winslow at mwinslow@firinn.org.
