You might enjoy the audio version of "The Silmarillion" by J. R. R. Tolkien...depending on where your literary tastes lie.

The book itself is an almost impossible read. But the audio book is wonderful. It gives a complete history of everything from creation and leading up to The Lord of The Rings books.

It's not short but it is fascinating.

I might do just that...thank you for the recommendation.

Interestingly, I have always been a reader, I read Moby Dick when I was 7 or 8, but I didn’t become a really heavy reader until halfway through my tour in the Navy, when I read “The Lord of The Rings” and I couldn’t put it down.

That kind of put me into reading hyperdrive and since then I became one of those people that would read books until 4 AM because I couldn’t put them down.

But I just couldn’t read “The Simarillion”. Is there more than one version-I want to make sure I get the one with a good reader...it makes all the difference to me!
