how feanor killed his youngest son w/ out remorse.
I know you said this over a year ago, Lindil, but I can't help but to nitpick and raise meaningless points of contention. It's my nature. From "Shibboleth":

Quote:
'That ship I destroyed first,' said Feanor (hiding his own dismay)
I think he was in fact remorseful about this. It is interesting in that it is the only time (that I can recall) that Feanor shows any doubt concerning one of his actions, or feels any guilt.

I feel obliged now to contribute something to the actual topic of this thread. I can say only this: you have not lived until you have read the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and the History of Middle-earth. Drop everything and read them now, from beginning to end. If you think I'm exaggerating, you have not read them. I envy you; you still have the best literary experience of your life ahead of you.
