That is exactly the effect Tolkien's detailed description has on me too!

I think it's also because he so convincingly manages to sound like ancient and medieval historians when he is writing about the history of his world.

The fact this expanded on Numenor made it interesting to me when I first read Unfinished Tales. There is a lot to take in over these pages, and I found myself studying it back in the mid 80's for use in a Dungeons & Dragons game I was GM'ng at the time.
