Britain is like "Well it's that time eh?" and the other guy is like "righto" I think.

Im mostly into Lovecraft nowadays... The absurd occult horror gives me a sense of joy

hi @all
i have read all parts of lords of the ring and the hobbit and the silmarillion. for me the best of all was the silmarillion because in this book christopher tolkien (jrr tolkiens son) has given many details of the mythology of middleearth- that was very interesting. In addition too they told in this book the best romantic stories like tinuvil and beren. that was very sad but nice |

I've read:
The Hobbit Lord of the Rings Unfinished Tales Tolkien@Man & Myth (Biography by Joseph Pierce) I've also read some of the Silmarillion, but only when I've been over at my Uncles house (he has tons of Tolkien). |

I've read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Lost Tales, and The Children of Hurin. I think he was one of the most genius
linguists/philologists EVER. He took his vast knowledge and made something new out of many ancient sources. He was a brilliant mind in his field.

I just recently picked up The Children of Hurin (nice that they kept the Alan Lee paintings in the trade paperback) and enjoyed it quite a bit. If you've read any of Tolkien's stuff beyond the trilogy you know this story won't end well, and as such has a sort of gloom over it the entire time. Easily the darkest of his works, IMO, filled with tragedy and regret. The notes are as interesting as the story itself. Frodo's journey seems so much smaller in scope when you read the stories of the First Age.  "The main difference between Slayer and

Really? What is it that's keeping you from finishing? After The Silmarillion, it was nice to read something a little less ambitious, I breezed through it
in just a couple days. It starts off slow, but once Turin becomes an outlaw it's one tragedy after another until the (beautiful) end.

children of hurin is delightfully wretched in the scale of its tragedy... you really should give it another try ungolianth... the language is achingly gorgeous
in some sections. the ending is on par with the ancient greek miseries and anything from shakespeare's nightmares.
