I love that, Child of the 7th Age! I think your observations are correct! Make me an Elf then. I never had trouble with the Silmarillion and completely adore it. Hobbit-lore simply does not hold my attention. When I tackle the Silmarillion, I find myself reading only small bits at a time, not because it is difficult, but because it is so emotional. All those heroes... Damn you, Morgoth! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
