Since the previous post, i have purchased the Inglis audio for FOTR , TTT, ROTK, and TH. Inglis is amazing, and especially wonderful on long drives. But I really wish he had published an audio book of the Sil!

I have a 4 CD set - the Tolkien Audio collection IIRC (not being lazy most of my possessions are in storage), which has fairly lengthy excerpts from the Silmarillion read by Christopher. Not quite like having the whole thing of course but worth a listen if you get the chance.

Are they coherent sections, similar to short stories? Depending on the sections that might be awesome....

The first two CDs re JRRT reading short excerpts from LOTR and the Adventure of Tom Bombadil poems, the third and fourth, Christopher reading the tale of Beren and Luthien and Of the darkening of Valinor and the Flight of the Noldor in their entirety.
I have to say that for a serious Tolkien enthusiast there is a special pleasure in hearing the writer and editor reading. It isn't a fortune ...annoyingly the same in dollars as sterling 18.85 and in the states issued as JRR Tolkien Audio Collection but clearly the same, Not a inconsequential amount either but if you are due a treat..or a present then I am sure you would appreciate them.

...a year on...
Mae govannen!
I read through Lord of the Rings again for some countless time, and thought I'd make the rounds to the old forums. Reading closely the last chapters in Book V and the 1st couple in Book VI, I really hate those PJ fanfic movies all the more. They so miss the point. Anyway, it was good to get re-grounded with what is the tale as written by Tolkien and what is made-up fanfic.  How is everyone? |
