Re: may I suggest 3 stages

Taimar, Mithadan , the Cheif-Wight and myself have all expressed desire to give this a go {and at least 1 person from the white council}.
Maybe I am missing something{it is not rare} -but it seems to me that spending time on ground rules{ wich would have essentially - nothing to do w/ the texts} would give anyone interested a good bit of time to get up to speed.
As to to the books involved when we do start ,do we want to start at the Begining w/ the Ainulindale?
if so then besides the Silmarillion , I imagine one would want to have { or at least be familiar with} HoME 1,4 and 10 specifically
Michael Martinez said give the ground rules a year [?!] and while it may or may not take that long
I would hope that the months that I imagine my proposed stages 1 and 2 taking would hopefully give anyone interested enough time to come up to speed.
I am delighted people want to do it and I am hopeful the group will find a good pace. <img src=smile.gif ALT="
