Iarwain, I don't mind the double post-I do it quite frequently myself [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
The Problem of Pain. Hmmm, you know I have alot to catch up with! No, I have not read it yet but i'm glad I was able to say like Lewis intended...I'll read a synopsis of it online if I can-but if you could provide me with one I'll be glad to read it [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
And one more thing Iarwain, the illustrated book is entitled:Tolkien's World:Paintings of Middle-earth. It has various paintings from different artists such as Jhon Howe and Alan Lee etc. Is that the one that's out of print? It was the last one on the shelf so I took it.
On The Lost Road and other writings:
I got up to Chapter II:Alboin and Audoin.
I think Alboin is quite a bit like Tolkien in his younger years. Alboin is constantly into Linguistics,and always coming up with his own languages...
Question: Is it really supposed to be like that? Did Tolkien write it as some sort of reflection of himself?
