What Tolkien Books Did You Read ?

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I've read TH and LotR (duh) and The Sil, Unfinished Tales, The Tolkien Reader, and am currently working through HoME (very slowly, while reading a romance novel and the Chronicles of Narnia... again)
HoME has been a bit tricky for me because of the constant notes that Christopher Tolkien has put into it everywhere. I need to get my mom to buy me the last six books of HoME. (I got them for Christmas along with much more Middle-Earth related stuffs, including a full colour map of Middle-Earth, Wilderland, Valinor and Beleriand!)

I read all of the Books listed above when I was 13 (a year ago!) and if I had discovered them sooner, then I would have read them sooner!

Well, I've always wanted this and so I picked it up. Anyway, just wanted to share this find incase someone is in a Barnes and Noble and they want to look and see if they find this. I would assume they would since the stores seem to get the same duplicate volumes in for overstock, clearance/discount.

NO WAY!!!! I bet that they don't have them in Alaska or Washington (my current location)... I have to miss out... again...

So would I!

And now I'm probably going to start the rest of HoME (But £100!- maybe I'll wait a bit)

Is it worth trying at your local library? Either to get them from there or order them in from another library? On play.com they have them bundled into 3 volumes for about 45 pound each, and as much as I'd like to read them, theres no way I'm touching them at that price!! Lol. As soon as I'm from university for summer, I'm going to try my library for them!!

Not all libraries have them, sadly, as I found out earlier this year.

Actually, a university library might be more likely to have them than a local public, since they're more scholarly than entertaining to most folks. Though our local does -- just a weird little town I live in.

Then I'll just have to wait until I go to university *sigh*
