Hey, I am finally hooked on Silm! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I started with reading LotR (bad idea! Start with "The Hobbit"!) and I was hooked.
Then I went to the library and borrowed the Sil. I found the first pages about the Song of the Ainur rather boring, but when Melkor came into picture I was forever lost in the story. I read the whole Sil in 5 days! (On a holiday in Prague, when we weren't sightseeing, I was reading.) I never had troubles with the characters, I was just like "it'll be explained later" when I didn't understand something. And about the places I just looked at the map behind in the book.
