What Tolkien Books Did You Read ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

OK, I'm confused. I just picked up The Return of the Shadow at the book store. It's sub-titled "The History of The Lord of The Rings". But I saw Gollumsprecious as listing it as HoME. Are these two different series?

And yes, I did look at a small copy of The Silm. I was going to buy it, honestly. But then I opened it up and started reading, and there they were...the NAMES! Dozens of freakin' NAMES! My eyes started to glaze right there in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section.

When I see some elf delving into the History of the Ohio River Valley and the Great Migration of the Irish to the New World, maybe then I'll take a crack at learning THEIR history. Until then...fugedaboudit!
