Lord of the Rings

[(Anonymous)]

I just found out that Theoden had a daughter named Idis in an earlier draft of LOTR.

Which Tolkien books have you read (Including Christopher's)?

Re: Lord of the Rings

[(Anonymous)]

Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion

And there's an end on it, really. TBH I never cared much for the whole legendarium aspect of Tolkien's work. It's just not the part of his thing that appeals to me.

Are you interested in trying Children of Hurin?

I feel like that will soon become part of the Hobbit/LOTR/Silm set, since it doesn't have scholarly commentary like HoME does, and reads a lot like a cross between the Silm and LOTR.

Re: Lord of the Rings

[(Anonymous)]

Not particularly. I just don't really care about it.

Re: Lord of the Rings

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough. I don't particularly like Turin's story either.

Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Silmarillion, Children of Hurin, started the Unfinished Tales.

Re: Lord of the Rings

[(Anonymous)]

In addition to LotR and the Hobbit, I read about half of the Sil before I gave up, but I have read bits and pieces of HoME, especially the Unfinished Tales. I went through a phase where I was very interested in the history and mythology and worldbuilding of Middle Earth.

The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, (some) of The Silmarillion, (some) of The History of the Lord of the Rings, and Children of Hurin.

Silmarillion was a bit too...dense for me back when I tried it. I'm interested in the stories, but it was hard for me to connect with it. Maybe I'll try again one day...I own it so I probably should. (Same with The History.)

Never read Unfinished Tales, though. Thought I would finish Silmarillion first, and every time I considered it I ended up reading Lord of the Rings instead.

LotR, The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, bits of Unfinished Tales, bits of the first and last History of Middle Earth books.

I read bits about how the early version of the story that became the Silmarillion was closer related to England, with the island of Balar originally being Britain. I think I have second book and maybe the third but went and bought the last before any others because I wanted The Shibboleth of Fëanor.

I still kinda wish to get the rest of HoME, but they're not available.

What I am not interested in is Children of Húrin, because not that long ago (like some time in the last few years) I took a really close look at it... and really, Turin is a bloody depressing character. He's an ass who does everything wrong. Out of the tales from the Silmarillion, I'd much rather read an expanded version of Beren and Lúthien's tale, and by extension, their granddaughter and her husband (Elwing and Eärendil).

I love LotR and all it's lore, but some tales in it interest me more than others.
