I read Silmarillion when I was like 14.
It's not that tricky to grasp, or read :snooty:
You gotta' take it for what it is, is all.
I.e. some sort of throw-back to an archaic way of storytelling, all in a jumble.

Yeah
but it's still shite
But wasn't it his guide to middle earth for him rather than intending to be published as a story book?
His son finished it after he died.
I wish he didn't :lol:
You're right DanB. He never intended for it to be published at all, as he wrote it for his own personal reference.
I have several words to describe the actions of his family after his death, and none are complimentary.
:shuriken:
I finished the thing last night btw.
There's an appendix which is about 100 pages about pronunciation etc...
Obviously it was never meant to be published
Not unless Tolkien had decided to go all George Lucas on you ass.
I'm reinstating this thread, as I am feeling teh rage.
Honestly, other than the police incident, all I've been doing for days is shouting at people, and sorry boys, close your ears/eyes, I've the mirena coil fitted and that shouldn't happen. I told my boss he was a smart ass muppet today. Luckily he's a ginger wuss so it's ok. Honestly tho. Rage is damn good.
good thing I haven't a fucking clue what one of those is:01:Quote:
