[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I just started reading The Book of Lost Tales and when I read the foreword I was stumpled upon that discution about "depth" and "glimpses" and whether or not the Silmarillion should have been published or not. I wanted to start a thread about it, but for the first time ever I actually managed to find an already existing thread about the subject via the search function.

It seems that I share my opinion with quite a few in here that these glimpses where brilliant and I wanted to know more about that history, but this tales should not be told in LotR as it would destroy the balance of the tale. The Silmarillion was an amazing discovery for me and I love it to bits as I adore that kind of writting, I guess it comes with studying history.

Even though I like Silmarillion as much as LotR I would probably not have loved its tales as much had I not fallen in love with LotR first.
