[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Ohhhh After The Lord of the Rings - DEFINATELY read "Unfished Tales" - well all of it except the first two chapters which deal with events of the 1st age and thus tie in with the Silmarillion. The Silmarillion WAS slow going - and I don't remember EVERYTHING about it - thing is it's more a collection of stories and mythologies of early Middle Earth than an ongoing narrative - like The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. That being said - I NOW appreciate it in a new light after going back one day and saying to myself 'stuff it' i'm going to read and finish "Narn in hi Hurin" The tales of the children of Hurin - the second chapter of Unfinished tales. Which then made me re-pick up and read at least ONE chapter from the Silmarillion... "Turin Turambar" - one of the most tragic of tales written. Now THAT book/chapter would be a FANTASTIC movie to see. Or even Beren and Luithien - I might read that again soon. Oh also - for more stories along the lines of the appendicies and "The Unifished Tales" get the XII? Book of the History of Middle Earth - "The People's of Middle Earth". I *have* tried reading the first couple of the History of Middle Earth - THAT is slow going. But Yeah, read Unfinished Tales then Silmarillion and go back and read the 1st two chapters of Unfinished Tales. [/QB][/QUOTE]
