*nods*

I figured it was something like that.

I have read the four books proper multiple times (although I last read the trilogy more than ten years ago in prep for the movies), but I never read the Simarillion, and I have to confess that while I am more than happy to do research to WRITE fic, I do not want to read fic that requires research to understand. LOL

I am starting a book club style reread in the next week or so starting with The Hobbit if you're interested. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
