Well, according to the pocket guide for Denvention 3, the World Science Fiction Convention in Denver next week, this is what my schedule looks like:
11:30 a.m. Wednesday, August 6
Reading Tolkien in the early years
CCC – Room 504
What was it like to read Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy as it came out? Did people actually read Tolkien in hardback, before the Ballantine or even Ace paperbacks? Our panel discusses early Tolkien enthusiasts and the fandom that grew out of their interest in this most famous book of the 20th century.

Writers reading from their juvenilia
CCC – Room 501
Jane Austen began writing at the age of eleven, and kept volumes of her juvenile writing throughout her life. Some science fiction writers began writing at an equally early age, and (with only minor amounts of blackmail) have agreed to let fans have a listen to some of their earliest work.
