[Ainaserkewen]

I asked the same question when I finished the hobbit to the ROTK and for a while I did nothing about it but re-read them countless times, and each time I read them I got more info and it made more sense. So first I suggest re-reading. Next I read the UT but it didn't make any sense to me. I bought the Silm. and read, didn't make sense, so I re-read it till It did. I've also read the letters of Tolkien and that was very useful, now I'm trying the UT again. Also, I'd like to get my hands on some the Chris's other books "The histories of Middle-Earth" or whatever.
