I forced myself to read the Silmarillion this year (internet friends insisted!) You're certainly right about the start! After I got going, it wasn't that bad, but I don't find the pleasure (no, make that joy!) that I get from LoTR and The Hobbit. I've been buying up the audio CD's on Ebay. I really enjoy listening to them. My eyes are going downhill rather quickly, and I can't skip or speedread stuff when I'm listening. My favorite way to enjoy Middle Earth lately is listening to Rob Inglis while lying on the couch with my eyes closed! [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
