A great book.

Have you read any other Tolkien? I enjoyed all of his stuff thoroughly and loved The Silmarillion too. It's cool, lays out all the history of Middle-Earth and such. Beyond that it's almost a kind of assemblage of different minor little tales and stories. If you dig the universe in general you will love it.

A book certainly, with words. And apparently, illustrations.

She wants you to grace her with the contents of your family Silmarils for once, OP, you beta cuck.


Nice, comfy book, senpai.

Yeah, I'm hoping it's able to recapture that magical / mysterious feel I got the first time I red the hobbit and the ring trilogy. If it does I'll probably pick up children of hurin next.

An emensily believable "second world" that tolkien creates,that most often leaves a mark on its readers for the rest of their lives

You used the Dune joke, but OP's pic isn't Dune. I'm confused.
