I'd like to get started with the remaining CbC discussions of the Silmarillion as soon as possible, so we can get through the book as well as the Unfinished Tales in time for a Hobbit relaunch next year. I'm thinking that Monday would be a good day to begin discussion threads - some of you may want to read the chapters on the weekend and can then jump right in, or you can take your time during the week. Each discussion will last one week, though of course the threads remain open for those who wish to contribute later on.
Is there any interest - shall we begin this week (i.e. tomorrow), or wait another for people to join in the reading? Chapter 20, "Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad" is the next in line.

It's Monday; the discussion thread for Chapter 20 is up. I hope you'll join me - comments are welcome even if you're not currently rereading the Sil!

After our Christmas break with the Father Christmas Letters, we will soon be resuming discussions of the Unfinished Tales. The next chapter is "Aldarion and Erendis", and the thread for it will be opened on February 6 (unless something unforeseen deters me...).

No A Description of the Island of Númenor? But... but...
 'Not that I can't see how that one might be a little boring...

Oops! You're right, of course, Formy - that chapter is so short I missed it when paging through today, but it shall be discussed at least briefly.
