<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/vilya.jpg" align=absmiddle> Re: elaborated part ?

I always want to read more of "what happened next?" to the main characters. When I first read LoTR years ago, I missed the Appendix (I was young and silly, thought it didn't matter...)

I was delighted a few years later to discover all the details of the Hobbits' children and visits to Aragorn or Faramir. I always wish I could read more about these in detail, get descriptions and so on. I always feel a little sad that we just get "Master Samwise and his wife and Elanor ride to Gondor and stay there for a year." I want to know what they did, what Aragorn said to them, what Rosie thought of her first trip out of the Shire, how Sam felt when he saw Aragorn again.....

I suppose it's nice to imagine too, but I would like to know.
