<font color="gold">This isnt any new news, but my love for his books grows stronger and stronger.
I have just finished 'Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-Earth', and it truly was outstanding. Just as his other books. I have now read 'The Hobbit', 'Lord of the Rings', 'Silmarillion' and 'Unfinished Tales about Númenor and Middle-Earth'. What do you other think about his books?</font> |

<font color=orange>I tried to read Lost Tales, But I just couldn't get into it. It was like trying to read a college textbook about Middle Earth. Christopher Tolkein did a great job with the Silmarllon and Unfinished Tales, but the latter books weren't much good. At least in my opinion.</font>

I tried reading the book of lost tales, but couldn't get past the poetry at the beginning, of course I was in 6th grade then, maybe I'll pick it up again...

No doubt Tolkien's epic is the best ever.
I haven't read Unfinished Tales, but have read the others multiple times each. Just finished the Silmarillion again a couple weeks ago. Great stuff!

<font color="gold">I wonder what to read now... Your call, shall I start reading LotR again (3rd time), The Hobbit (3rd time), or Silmarillion (2nd time)?
I have to read an english novel now anyway, so I might choose LotR on english. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font> |
