The Lord of the Rings: Just drop it in the Volcano

The end of year summary of the best letters written by readers of the Magazine. My favourite:

Re The old new, which pointed out the similarities between the 1954 transistor radio and the iPod Mini. The chap sitting in front of me on the bus last night was listening to a Walkman. He even took the tape out and turned it over to listen to the other side. I was transfixed.
