Wonderful Elda! Welcome to the downs!

I am very glad you decided to join our little HoME UT society.

Yes the mediation aspect is something I did not miss in the Silm, and even though CJRT highlights it in the Intro I failed to really appreciate the depth of it impact on the story.

I do really enjoy the Aelfwine/Eriol aspect of the story, and was rather saddned when i heard that it was 'officially' replaced with the Bilbo Baggins theory of Silm origins. But that is jumaping 10 or so Volumes ahead...

Am taking Ainulindale [LT1] with me for a day or 2 so hopefully I will get through it by Mon.

Again welcome to the downs and the society Elda!
