A question about Thranduil came up during a family viewing of the Hobbit movies. As a youngster, is it known if he was he present in Doriath during the killing of Thingol and the schism with the dwarves over the Nauglamír? I can't remember and the wiki skips over a lot of his history. I thought it would be a good way to explain his animosity towards Thorin and company and why he didn't come to their aid when Smaug drove them from the mountain in the first place.

The way the books were written the Hobbit basically is the thingol / nauglamir story recast. It had not been published yet. So Tolkien used a lot of elements from his unpublished works for the Hobbit which was written as a one off stand alone fantasy adventure. Later he connected everything . So Mirkwood is Doriath in a strong sense.

For those wondering, these are the American radio dramas from 1979, and not the later BBC versions. It's also pretty crummy to put Return of the King as the $15 perk when the rest of the trilogy sits at the "beat the average" level.

Those of you yearning for rumbling rolling syllables of grandeur uttered by McKellen can listen to him read a new translation of the Aeneid: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b073r20q/episodes/guide You can listen only for the next week before they go offline.

For someone who really liked the Silmarillion (and has read LOTR and The Hobbit), what else would it make sense to read in the same setting? Just Unfinished Tales? I thought about The History of Middle Earth, but it seemed like that might be (serious) overkill.

I liked that and the Books of Lost Tales (there are two). But even with those you're getting a lot into some earlier/alternate/extended versions of some of the Silmarillion stories. That said, the standalone Children of Húrin is fantastic.

I really like the oddball ideas Tolkien started out with.
