The History of Middle Earth, by that I mean, the historical tales of Middle Earth. From the creation of Middle Earth to the fall of Sauron.

 ... are explained in that book, as well as the creation of Arda (where Middle Earth is) and the fight against the original Dark Lord (Sauron was only his lieutenant back then).It is a rather different book than Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, but then LoTR and Hobbit are not exactly very similar either. I'd suggest you start reading the Silmarillion when you know you will have time for it. You may think it's slightly dull to begin with, but all of a sudden you may find yourself reading well past your bed-time. Just like this forum, it seems harmless but actually, it's been catalogued by the Canadian Food and Drugs administration as "dangerously addictive" Enjoy your time!! And remember Rule number X: Never take Farael too seriously. Welcome!

Oops, that didn't come out right, I am a very dedicated Tolkien fan don't get me wrong.
And so I shall recite the entire History of Middle Earth and Arda from the Beginning. "And so, the great god of the Valar, Iluvatar, said 'Ea!' (Be!') and the Arda, (universe) was created. And Aule the Smith created Middle Earth, for Aule was one of the twelve who were created, the Valar, and he adored all things metal and beautiful... <Other non-Tolkien people walk off in disgust> |
