Re: UT

If you liked Sil. and the Appendices, Unfinished Tales is a must read. It contains an expanded version of the tale of Turin and the beginning of the tale of Tuor (grievously abandoned by JRRT at Tuor's first sight of Gondolin). UT also contains the Downfall of Numenor and a number of essays and other tales about the Istari, etc. The dwarves are briefly discussed in the Tale of the Quest of Erebor.

If you really like Dwarves, get HoME 12, Peoples of Middle Earth which contains expanded verions of what appear in the appendices. It has the names of the 7 dwarven houses and much regarding dwarven history, society and economics.

were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
