Silmarillion has been sitting on my bookshelf for over 10 years: the story of Túrin and Nienor depressed me too much: hence my, umm, issue with the name Melian.

the story of Túrin and Nienor depressed me too much:

Dude. That story WAS harsh. For more, there is also "The Tales of Turin". The story (and more) in greater detail.

Tell me one thing. In the fall of Gondolin, Glorfindel fell fighting a Balrog, but showed up in the Fellowship of the ring to save the haflkings at the ford.

Hello?

Two Glorfindels or what?

I find the discrepancy somewhat appalling.
