some of the other books related to LOTR? I am new here, but I have been enjoying LOTR and The Hobbit since I was introduced to them junior high (many years ago). I have been lurking around here and have seen the Lost Tails and The Simorillion (sp?) mentioned. What do these books have to do with LOTR? Thanks
