Silmarillion humour? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I didn't really think that there were any humorous moments in the Sil, but there were happy moments, moments where you know whats happening/happened when the character doesn't. The sil also makes LotR a much better read. You can understand, for instance, the Council of Elrond and other deep refrences into the past. For me, just this deeper knowledge makes me smile at somber moments. It almost makes me feel kind of wise-ish. I like to think that I've lived and seen all of the history behind the LotR, its really fun! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
