Annunfuiniel, of course those new to HoM-E/UT are welcome!

Though as I said above reading BoLT first may not be everyone's cup of tea. But if you have vol. I go for it.

Let us know what passages strike you
What strangeness perplexes you
What marvels leave you in awe...

Someone asked above where the published Silm fits in in all of this.

Well a few texts [Beren and Luthien, parts of Turin, etc] only occur in more or less their final form there. They were omitted from HoM-E due to reasons of space. So we will need to have recourse ot it, but not till we get to Lost Road (V) I think.

As to the other aspect o f that question that was mentioned, yes most of the Silm texts we will see in theor original pre-CJRT edited forms [some many times].
