I'm sure all of you know this. But it has something to do with the Silmarillion, so I feel like sharing it. The Silmarillion was Tolkien's first and last book. (I've read this from somewhere I know I have, but there's always the possibility that it's wrong. I always thought the Hobbit was the first.) The Silmarillion was probably the dearest to his heart. And by first and last, I mean that he started the Silmarillion then went to others and then after all of the other books, he finally started finishing it. And didn't COMPLETELY finish it.
