Read the book?

i read the boooks (mine are in 3 parts)
and they are total genius... i agree with what was said earlier tho..... too many footnotes.... and by the end.... i was beginning to think that there were too many songs aswell...... but they were stil genius 😄

most definately. 😎 📖

What I've read so far:

The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings (all 3 parts)
The Silmarillion
Unfinished Tales
The History of Middle-earth---I, II, III, IV, VIII, IX)

I've skipped some parts because I can't find the parts V, VI, and VII in my bookstore but I'm definitely gonna buy it if they finally had one along with X, XI, and XII. I haven't read the Letters of JRR Tolkien yet, I'm only seeing some of his quotes from that book in the net but I desperately wanna buy that. I also own some books that are Middle-earth related but not really written by Tolkien himself like The Magical World of The Lord of the Rings, The Atlas of Middle-earth and some Middle-earth languages book. Unfortunately, language-related stuff seem not to be my best course in the planet. I really tried to learn..I really did..but the things won't go in my head. I will memorize 5 to 10 terms or 1 sentence or 2 one time and after 2 days..I've totally lost them. I can't absorb them.😖 ..so..there they are..in my shelf..waiting to be read through..I guess I will..another time. 🙂

Lol 🙂
Hm, Ive read the Hobbit, LoTR, the Sil, the Unfinished Tales and from the History the parts I, II, III, IV, and so far... and parts of VI, IX, X, XII... I always mix them up and cant remember where I read last... I have the other ones at home (except for VIII), but Kmc wont let me enough time to read them 🙄 I also started the letters, not yet read all though... yey and loads of secundary literature, like dictionaries, books about languages, parodies ^^, "Tolkien-The Artist" (book about paintings by Tolkien 🙂 great) and stuff like that, so I have lots of books here but not yet read several of them 🙁 at the moment Im reading the Silmarillion again... because it has no footnotes ✅ Im really tired of all these comments on the comments on the comments in the history 🙁

that would be irksome

Yeah..and I also hate it sometimes when different books say different informations about a particular matter. For example, in one book that I've read, it was said that Galadriel and Celeborn had one more child other than Celebrian, then in the Unfinished Tales I think, it was clarified that it wasn't true. Something like that. Other books from HoME also tell different kind of stories than what's in the LOTR books and the Silmarillion. I'm getting so very mixed-up everytime, I don't know what's the real deal anymore. 😘

Yeah, that was Amroth in the Unfinished Tales 😄

Actually I think it only says that Amroth was the son of Galadriel... and then it says, Amroth is the son of Amdír ("hope"😉, Lord of Lórien... isnt it possible that both is true 😄 😛

Didn't one note say that Saruman considered repentence when the Nazgul visited him immediately after Gandalf escaped from Orthanc? That could serve as an alternative past of some description

pepsi pepsi

possibly.
