What Tolkien books have you read?

[elbereth]

Hi everyone,
I am new here, I love the books and thought that I would try to get this subject going.
Is anyone into reading Tolkien's works and if so what have you read so far?
I have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (of course), The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, 7 volumes of the Histories of Middle-earth series(The Book of Lost Tales part 1 and part 2, The Lays of Beleriand, The Shaping of Middle-earth, The Lost Road, The Return of the Shadow, and the Treason of Isengard).
Just wondering if there are any other book heads here.

Well i have The Lord of the Rings book and The Hobbit, but havent read them yet because everyone else had them, i finally have them back now, but really dont have much time to read as of right now, eventually i will read them though.

i have read half of the hobbit and the trilogy it was awesome! going to read the silmarillion soon though!

Just a little advice on The Silmarillion. Take your time reading it. Many people find it a little difficult to read the first time around. It is basically a bunch of shorter stories that all tie into each other and there is a lot of information. It doesn't read like LotR, it is a history of Middle-Earth and the elves. I had to read it a second time before I fully understood what was going on, but now it is my favorite. I hope you like it.

i have read the lotr books.... thats about as far as i have gotten because i have like books that i just keep getting that i read and then i dont get a chance to go back and read the tolkien books i have.... but eventually i will get to reading them

[ringbearer1991]

i think i will enjoy the silmarillion, my friends say it is really well written, even though it is a history

[princessleagwen]

yeah i'm sure you will enjoy it. i'm eventually going to get around to reading that one lol

but sort of off topic has anyone who has myspace bought a book called Luthiel's Song?! It is a fantastic book that has a huge LotR feel to it. So if anyone has any extra money laying around I would suggest checking it out and I can give you the link to his profile if you need it. :-)

[princessleagwen]

i would love to read "the adventures of tom bombadil" but sadly i can't seem to find any place that actually sells the book.

[elbereth]

Princess Leagwen, I just got A Tolkien Miscellany from amazon. It has Smith of Wootton Major, Farmer Giles of Ham, Tree and Leaf, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil ( which are actually a collection of 16 poems) and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This book is just a bunch of Tolkiens works collected into one book. I got if from the amazon marketplace used but in excellent condition. If you want to check there.

[princessleagwen]

Hmmmm how much did that one cost?! Because I might go online and see if I can't find it then.

[elbereth]

I looked it up on Amazon and then clicked on the buy it used and chose one that was in like new condition. I prefer hard cover and I paid $7.77 and $3.49 shipping. The vary in price, depending on what seller has it. I will see if I can get a link for you.

[elbereth]

Here's a link just click on new and used for $... and if you prefer paperback they are available to just do a search for A Tolkien Miscellany.
