Mho, you are inspiring me to pick up the Silmarillion for the first time since reading it in 1983. I'm thinking of starting a chapter by chapter discussion thread for the benefit of the Newcomers forum. Care to join me, Bungo? I've read the LotR between 25 and 30 times (I lost count a couple years ago) but the Silm lacked the continuity of plot to draw me back to it again and again in the same way. However, if I read one more "who had the coolest, shinest ring" "who was the smartest elf" thread I will go stark raving mad...
