How about you PM him and find out MN?
It'd be more work.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
Last i got was "Tallon of the Silver Hawk".
Book one in the "Conclave of the Shadows" series
(That's the Secret Society to fight the nameless one set up by Pug in "Shards of a Broken Crown")
There are more, but im waiting for them to come out in paperback, coz im skint
Anyone wishing to get into Feist:
The 1st Book of all the differing Series (which all fit together...) is: "Magician"
In my opinion, a hell of a lot better than Tolkien....
An It Harm None, Do What You Will
Silmarillion, never thought about that, what other works are there of Tolkien's
Talon of the Silver Hawk any good?
Tolkien's other popular work is The Hobbit.

By memory: Book of Lost tales and/or Forgotten stories 1 & 2.
Adventures of Tom Badabil (sp), Probably something else.
Silmarillion also details elements of Elven language, which is useful for naming characters in your role playing games. For example in morrowind I have a female redguard named Maegwen - meaning "Sharp Maid" i.e. Battle Maid. Her class being Faerun (Wandering Spirit).
Book of Lost Tales by Christopher Tolkien (JRR's grandson)
Adventures of Tom Bombadil
I'd recommend the Silmarillion and The Hobbit (its strictly a children's book, not an epic)
Terry Pratchett - Disc World Series (alot more humor though)
Tolkien's 'Farmer Giles of Ham'. Its by no means epic but still damn good.
The Dark Tower series.
These were great:

The best I've read in that direction in a long time.
Otherwise there's always Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time"/"Dragon Reborn"-series.
I guess you could have a go at Lloyd Alexander's "Westmark" or Ursula K. LeGuin's fantasy novels as well.
