I don't mean to be a clever cloggs but there are loads of questions on the forum which could be answered in 1 easy step...by reading The Sil !!

Dunno why some people seem frightened to read what to me is one of the best books I have ever read. The only people I would say shouldn't read it are those who are just not interested in the history of Elves, Arda, Ea, Men, Vala, Maia etc. For me though this is what Tolkein is all about.

Maybe the History of Middle Earth (Vols 1-12) are only for real enthusiasts like me but the Sil is absolutely essential reading for any Tolkein fan.

..rant over !!
