To all who finished the Silm. I salute you! I am not worthy.

I attempted it in the 70s after reading LOTR, and put it aside. I'm afraid that I'm like that kid in the book "The Princess Bride", I don't want to hear all the boring details, I wanna get to "the good stuff"!

Besides, the Silm deals with the elves, and I wanna hear about the Hobbits and Gandalf, whose adventures are only hinted at in the appendices.

I would like to know more about the palantiri, though, so I suppose I better suck it up and attempt it again.

Aiiiiii! The Names! The Names!
