  • Silmarillion

    Well. I thought I was a Tolkien geek, but I see now I was wrong.

    Um, I have read the whole Silmarillion, parts a few times, but I think that anyone who considers this the adult work of literature and LOTR the action figure kids stuff is, shall we say, well outside the mainstream. I think the warnings to the general reader are well taken - the people who it's right for will find it.

    I'll put Turin on my reading list.
