Hey thread, does anyone know if there's a readily-available edition of LOTR to reference the page numbers with the The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion 2nd edition? Paperback is fine. Thanks!

Reading The Silmarillion at the moment and just reached the Beren and Lúthien chapter. Should I skip it and read the full book of that story instead or what do people recommend? I was gonna read that book after Sil anyway and then Children of Hurin and Fall of Gondolin but not sure which would be better.

I don't know how controversial this is but the first half of the TT and RoTK are, to me, so much more interesting and engaging than the Frodo/Sam stuff. I guess the rules of publishing and editing were different back then, but I can't believe that his publisher let him publish the stories separately instead of alternating between one and the other chapter-by-chapter.

my GF always skips the Frodo/Sam stuff, she thinks it's mega boring lol

What's in the Unfinished Tales book that I can skip if I've read Silm, Children of Hurin, Beren.., Fall of Gondolin?
Or maybe a better question is what should I read?

Was literally watching ROTK with my gf and my housemate came in to tell us he was dead. RIP KING

Wait did he just die now? Or did he die a few years ago and we're just once again getting nostalgic for one of the best scenes ever put on page or screen?

I was also certain he died a few years ago

Lol Warner Brothers are absolute pieces of poo poo. They copyright struck the decade plus-old fanfilm about the hunt for Gollum off of youtube only a day after making their announcement.

I'm nearly finished The Fall of Numenor book, I'm really enjoying the presentation of it as a chronological document. I'd just read the bigger story of Aldarion and Erendis in Unfinished Tales but reading it again in context made me enjoy it even more. Cool book!
