Beren and Lùthien to be published as stand alone volume

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I have similar problems with reading HoME. I do find the evolution of the different tekst and stories fascinating, but it can be difficult to keep track of the different endings and such.

I also find the fragmented nature of such writings make them harder to read, especially after I am no longer a student, and have considerable less time to spend on reading (for fun).
