I will be reading Silmarillion next, hopefully all the way through this time! I am ready for it, and much more interested in those stories than I was before.

I think the thing that stopped me before was that I was really looking for more from the characters I loved, and so put it down because they aren't there... but now I have become interested in the histories that preceded our story and will really enjoy it.

So that would be my vote for next, but mine is a most uneducated vote, because I haven't read the Unfinished Tales, letters, or other books yet myself.

OH - and Hullo! - Good Morning!

I've been thinking of reading Silmarillion next also. Any chance New Line will do a "prequel" to LOTR, namely "The Hobbit", and then go back even further and do Silmarillion?:) :) :) This could keep me going for years.:)
