Please Read The Silmarillion

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

I think it would be useful. Check with Mhoram. He's doing a reorganized version of the HoME. There's also a New version of the Silm. being worked on here on the Barrow-downs. I've found that working with a team helps me finish what I start (ha!).

I love Dostoyevski, though it's been some years. Right now I'm reading the Hinayana Tenets by Ponlop Rinpoche, The Presentation of the Classifications of Mind by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyatso, and The Mystical Mind which is loaned to me from my boss and I already argue with its definition of mind in the first chapter. I have as homework for a class starting this summer the Open Door to Emptiness by Thrangu Rinpoche, though I've had to order the extended version. I'm going to try to fit the Silm. in the middle of this, but it's going to be slow, one chapter at a time, due to the sheer backlog of reading material.
