Newbie help please
Hey folks. I'm recently new to Tolkien books (and loving them).
I've read: - The Hobbit - LOTR - The Silmarillion - Unfinished Tales - Tales From The Perilous Realm I was wondering if there are any other books (written by Tolkien) that I can read regarding middle earth in any way. Keeping in mind that I'd rather not read about stuff that isn't accurate in regards to the stuff I have already read. For instance; I don't want to read about stuff like how Aragorn's character was originally Trotter the Hobbit, etc. I feel that it would ruin the rest of the books for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance |

Do you want them to be related to Middle Earth? If not, he has some short stories such as Farmer Giles of Ham and Roverandom that are fun to read.

And there surely is the HoMe (Histories of the Middle-Earth) as well if you're really interested... but reading through all of them takes a real dedication - and a nice amount of cash or a very good library near you. Many of us here have done that... not me, but many others.

are the HoME books stories, or are they more of a "behind the scenes" look at middle earth?
Thanks for the replies |

Hmmm.
I'm the kind of person who would rather not watch the special features of a dvd because it would ruin the film for me. But I may yet read those if I find myself starved more more. |

If you like poetry, I've heard that The Lays of Belariand, and the Green Knight and Other Tales(I think that's it's name) are good books. I haven't read them, but as I know that Tolkien is a good poet, I'm sure they are excellent.
