I'm not saying the films didn't do any good... if not for them lots of LotR-love that lay dormant wouldn't have come forward, but I detest fans who proclaim themselves experts about Middle-earth and spend all day gushing over Viggo/Orli without ever having touched the books or even knowing they exist, and existed before the movie came out. Bleargh.

I'm glad you were actually captivated enough to read the Silmarillion - Feanor has got to be my favourite character ever, and I've fallen so in love with the First Age that I don't think I'll ever go back to the LotR-love that I had (the interest waned, like you said) but I still love the books and respect the bloody hell out of Tolkien for creating a world like that. Subcreation at its best. <3

Oh yes Feanor. He's one of my favourites. I also absolutely loved Finrod and can safely say he's my favourite Tolkien character ever.

I love the Silmarillion so much that I actually started short film version of Beren and Luthien, alas it was never finished though I do have a lot of clips. Lol.

Would you share?

(Finrod wins. Killing a werewolf with hands and teeth, no mean feat. And then there's people who see a similarity between "Quendi" and "pansies", argh.)
