Today is the 114th birthday of Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. As is customary among Tolkien fans, we will be celebrating his birthday by raising a glass in his honor at 9PM our time (or as close as I can make it).

I’ll have neat Scotch whiskey and Alan will have neat Rye.

I’m a geek, but you already knew that. What writer or other artist would you honor is some way?
