Well if you have go 2 1072 i think but if i am wrong it will be very close to it. Well has anyone read the dates after frodo left out of valinor. Did any of you guys read what happened 2 the fellowship. it's sad, almost made me cry. well i am going to write a book of what happens after rotk

uuhh...yeah..I have...

Yes I did

Best and easiest source for information about the third age

that and then starting the 4th age

And the only info about any of the LOTR/Hobbit background that Tolkien ever thought was ready for release- and even so, he regretted doing so.

erm, what is this book called,

He is talking of the appendices to Return of the King.

Appendices are quite useful

yup they sure are

he he, i tried to read it all, but it was really really really long so i only got to like the end of appendex c or something. I read about the fellowship and such, it was kinda sad. I liked how when Legolas leaves, it says something like, with the passing of his boat came the last of the fellowship in middle earth, or something like that, anyway it was kind of sad. Ill get to finishing the rest eventually

I liked all that stuff. It's lots of fun. So is the Silmarilion. I've read it three times.

I love the appendixes! They're so fun to read through...

yes indeed they give alot of info about lotr

especially the history of m.e. and the 2nd age

Of course I've read the appendixes. How else could I have known about Diamond? She - when I say "she," I mean "I" - wasn't mentioned in the books because she - again, I - married Pippin after the book ended....It would have been cool if Tolkien wrote about Pip and me But the books are wonderous as they are and, besides the Pip and me thing, I wouldn't change a thing. Hehe.

My favourit parts are the Annals and especially all the stuff about the writing systems.... the last were probably the beginning for me to be a fan.

The appendices are great, but very distracting. Whenever I'm reading RotK it takes longer than the others because I'm always flipping back to look at one of the Tale of the Years or one of the other appendices.
