Fall is the time...

to return to Middle Earth.  It is when Frodo set off on his adventures. 



I haven't read the Silmarillion in many years and have been wanting to return to it's beauty.  The beginning is a bit of a plow but once I get to Quenta Silmarillion the speed picks up.

It is told among the wise that the First War began before Arda was full-shaped, and ere yet there was anything that grew or walked upon earth; and for long Melkor had the upper hand.  But in the midst of the war a spirit of great strength and hardihood came to the aid of the Valar, hearing in the far heaven that there was battle in the Little Kingdom; and Arda was filled with the sound of his laughter.  So came Tulkus the Strong.

I've heard more than one person mention that Tolkein for them is an Autumn read - enjoy.

I've never been able to get into them.

I really need to read all of the Tolkien books. I've only read part of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but I love the movies. I bought the trilogy at a book store for about $5 about two years ago, but I sitll haven't been able to get through them. Sounds like I need to set a goal :)
