Silmarillion 

A masterpiece written by J.R.R. Tolkien and published by his son Christopher Tolkien, less known than The Lord of the Rings. It tells you how the Middle-earth was created and expands the knowledge of the events that took place in the First and Second Age.
If you have seen or read The Lord of the Rings and you haven´t read The Silmarillion.... you don't know anything about the Middle-earth.

The Silmarillion 

First published in 1977 after being constructed from J.R.R. Tolkien's notes by his son Christopher, The Silmarillion contains much of the history of Middle-Earth before the events of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. It is perhaps best thought of in terms of a modern history book constructed from several contradictory sources penned by people with agendas and bad filings systems; containing conjecture, racial stereotypes, claims of religious superiority, a lot of things ending in -ism, and the idea that Fingon was Gil-Galad's father.

Excluding the foreword, index of names and appendix, the book is divided into five main segments; Ainulindalë, Valaquenta, Quenta Silmarillion, Akallabêth, and Of The Rings Of Power And The Third Age.

Warning: contains conlangs and tears unnumbered.
While reading The Silmarillion people often cry themselves to sleep over the deaths of their favourite characters.

Arthur Scargill 

golfing slang - a shot that is hit well but ends up in a very poor lie. Arthur Scargill was head of the National Union of Miners in the 1980's who lead a succession of strikes against Margaret Thatcher's handling of pit closures across the UK. It was a bitter struggle that the government eventually won.
Arthur Scargill - a great strike but a poor result.

"unlucky you ended up in that bush mate, that was a bit of an Arthur Scargill"

loooooovee. Best person ever. Also best name ever. Gift shops should make name-themed gifts with this name.
