So would I!

And now I'm probably going to start the rest of HoME (But £100!- maybe I'll wait a bit)

Is it worth trying at your local library? Either to get them from there or order them in from another library? On play.com they have them bundled into 3 volumes for about 45 pound each, and as much as I'd like to read them, theres no way I'm touching them at that price!! Lol. As soon as I'm from university for summer, I'm going to try my library for them!!

Not all libraries have them, sadly, as I found out earlier this year.

Actually, a university library might be more likely to have them than a local public, since they're more scholarly than entertaining to most folks. Though our local does -- just a weird little town I live in.

Then I'll just have to wait until I go to university *sigh*

I have read:

By J.R.R. Tolkien:

The Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit

Edited by C.T.:

The Silmarillion
Unfinished Tales
The Book of Lost Tales I and I (except for the last chapter)
The Shaping of Middle-earth
Morgoth's Ring
War of the Jewels
Peoples of Middle-earth
Some parts of the Lost Road
The Children of Húrin

I'm currently reading the Letters, and hope to read the History of the Lord of the Rings after it.

Though I am Brazilian, I really enjoy reading the Lost Tales, despite its archaic English.
