  books read: [Silmarillion / JRR Tolkien] This book will attain the stature of a myth if the current owners allow the stories told therein to be expanded by others and be added to it. As for others It will provide a solid platform from which to weave their stories. For that is how the myths are made. This book tells the story of creation of earth [arda] and the events that happened after, until the time of Lord of the Rings. It needs be read 'after' the Lord Of The Rings so as to be familiar with the over all thread. It contains multiple beads all strung together in a wonderful chain of events, - the story of creation, the silmarills & the exile of noldor [wise elves] , of hurin and his family , the defeat of melko , and the first defeat of sauron..
A great read.  ¶ 6:29 PM 0 Comments
