When my mom read The Silmarillion she wrote notes down in a notebook to keep track of everything and all the characters. I still have that notebook and it reads like the diary of a madman.

The Silmarillion: An elf makes some gems, a dark lord steals them, all the elves get really pissed off and try to get them back.

As a young man, after reading LoTR, then The Hobbit, then LoTR again, I finally came to The Silmarillion, and ran smack into a wall. <br>It was so dense compared to the vaporous first books I had just devoured. <br>I couldn’t do it. So I happily went back to LoTR again, and again, and again. <br>Fast forward 20 years (how many agains is that?) and I’m a father looking for a good book to take on a family beach vacation. Heck, I say with shrug, why not. <br>I can’t stress enough how wonderful this book made me feel. Like I was that boy again first reading LoTR. I was enamored and easily finished before the trip was complete. <br>That was about 10 years ago and I’ve happily read and reread anything Tolkien since. <br>I don’t know why I tell you this. <br>Just a fools memories I suppose. <br><br>❤

The more I learn about Tolkien...I'm just in sheer awe of the man.

I like the part where Morgoth tells the spider: "Ungoliant, get to the choppa!"

The tale of Turin Turambar is really so epic and covers EVERY emotion from start to finish. What a story.
