Ashamed and A Live

[Ainaserkewen]

When you love reading someone like Tolkien, you'll love roaming around looking for all the fun stuff that he's written.

Oh course, there are other ways of going about it to. Just this morning I picked up a book at the library called "Before Tolkien" and it is about all the greatest fantasy stories that apparently he got some of his inspiration from. A lot of the short stories were written in the middle-ages and for whatever reason are very much LOTR style.

If you're going to tackle the Silmarillion, get a pen and paper ready. Write down names because there are alot and you'll forget/get frustrated/abandon reading.
