The Silmarillion audio book is astounding!

Martin Shaw does an incredible job.

I only have pt1 but I look fwd to pts 2-3.

I have a collection of JRRT reading some from the Hobbit, LotR and Tom Bombadil. Nice.

And a BBC hobbit. my girls like it but I find it on the same level as the animation ,but the music is better at least, none of that orson bean singing !.

The only thing that would have made the Silm better is if Kate Blanchett had done all of the womens' parts.
