I do recommend that you start with The Silmarillion first, to get the general history of Middle-Earth. It's easier to comprehend the other books after that

Having been at my parents place over the weekend, I noticed that my brother have them.
Now the question is when can I steal the book...

Indeed, Lazarus, friend of Halloween, has also read that many Tolkien books and more, and he also collects them to form his library of all Tolkien power. I would definitely suggest reading Silmarillion twice, because I got so much out of it in the second reading. After that, it's much easier to tackle the older and more cryptic books. Knowing the history for Lost Tales I & II really helps out. Hope u start that library. And to Hal, I will always best u in all your endeavors.
Yours truly,
Lazarus the impecably haughty

I do not appreciate your criticism of my excellent grammar. At least I am making a library of Tolkien. As for your grammar, it never ceases to impress me ;D, especially your spelling, which is impecable like my haughtiness.  Yours truly, Laz the impecably haughty  |

Laz...you talk really weird...but, then again...that is you... Yes, the silmarillon was sooo informative. After reading it i immediately pronounced myself an elf.  |

Sorry if I use some superfluous words! By the way, I stopped using that signature thing, so don't expect it any more. ;D
