Although I have read it, and really enjoyed it, there is only one thing that got me. Trying to remember all the names of the characters. There are so many! ::)

I'm all fluent with it now though.  ;D
Time slowed, reality bent, on and on the eggman went<br /><br /><br />Hey," said Shadow."Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are.   The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes "Say neverermore" said Shadow.    "F**k you," said the raven. It said nothing else as they went through the woodland together.

Well, I remember Beren, Luthien... I remember some, but like you said, there are so many! That's because it's a big book, The Silmarillion...  ;)
I check in every now and then.

Whilst reading the Sil, it became my favourite Tolkien book. I dont know why i love it so much. I just think it's magical. It makes me think about how much of a genious Tolkien was, to have thought all this up. It's crazy! I love the parts about Turin, and Beren & Luthien.

i totally agree the beren and luthien bits are my fave but turin is kreeping up, especially after you read all the extra stuff in unfinished tales

I didn't have that much of a problem remembering who all of the people are because of the glossary at the back....it jogs your memory, and that's all you need really. I think that one of the worst things that you can do though, is not bother checking who someone or something is in the glossary, because you would just get so confused!

I don't think that the silmarillion is my favourite book. I prefer Unfinished Tales I think, because it puts it in a more story-like fashion, that you can relate to more. However, i wouldn't have liked to try and read unfinished tales before the silmarillion, because you would have no idea who anyone was and how it all fitted into the larger picture.

I first read the Silmarillion a couple of years ago, i really enjoyed it. Before i read it, i used to just skip to the back of my dad's copy of the book and read 'Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age', that was my favourite chapter  :P

I love LOTR UK!
« #40 : August 25, 2004, 09:04:51 AM »
it is one of my favorites...

but before I had read it the first time...
I had tried several times and just couldn't get into it...
but then one day I just sat down and read it....

from that moment on...I have loved it and use it as a reference book along with the Unfinished Tales and the Lays of Beleriand...

I loved it-it was like reading the old histories in the White tower of Gondor!  It was indeed lofty and archaic in it's wording-but I think thats what made it fun for me. ;D
What a long strange trip it's been!!!!

If you get into its style I think its the second most beautiful utterance ever made by a human (the first most beautiful being The Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats)... Why are sad things so beautiful?

And I love the Fall of Fingolfin.

I reading it at the moment (it lies next to mo now :P )

I really love it! Everything is so nice written! I love the part of the fight between Fingolfin and Morgoth! He was so brave!
Valinor is described so nice! The beauty of it makes me want to live there :)

I just finished Turin Turumbar. That is one of my favorite chapters in the book, besides Beren and Luthien and everything of Feanor.

But in The Sil, nothing much is said about Celeborn, the husband of Galadriel. Are there any other books where you can read more of him?
