Son of Númenor has just left Hobbiton.
I used to read The Silmarillion aloud to my family by the fireside in the evenings. We got through the book in a couple of months, and I really enjoyed the experience. I agree with Esty that Middle-earth was made to be heard! Eä!

Can someone recommend a good audio version of LotR, preferably un-dramatized? I have never thought to use this medium, but perhaps it will be good this coming winter (my preferred season for reading the trilogy), as I'll have so much other reading to do for school that my brain will do well by relaxing and letting someone else do the work of reading my favorite book to me.
