Tolkien

I'm in the "Story" group. I haven't read the Silm or even The Hobbit yet. I intend to one day, but I've never had the ambition to like I have with The Lord of the Rings. I'm currently re-reading TLotR, and I'm in love with all things in the story---it's characters, it's places, it's feeling, it's magic....I get so much fulfillment by reading The Lord of the Rings that right now I just don't have the ambition to read the other works.....yet.

That doesn't mean that I don't read the HoMe, though. I have a few of the volumes of it (I will get them all soon), and I also have The Letters, The Reader's Companion, amongst other analtyical Tolkien (and predacessors) on LotR.
