	I read Silmarillion last year Amanda and I must admit I did skip read some of the beginning, but it deffo got more interesting the longer it went on and you're right, I do understand the whole background much more now. Ugs - 'slow witted people' - how do you get away with it?!?! pmsl xxxxxxxx

	I must also admit to having " Unfinished Tales " as well . In fact I have most of Tolkiens books . Leaf by Niggle is my favorite .

	OMG......I can't believe you haven't read it .....you are in for such a treat : )) Chapter three is best skipped over ( I read it first when I was 14 and I very nearly gave up ) ........stick with it if you can.......it gives you so much more understanding of it all . I highly highly recommend it .

	Are there LOTR worlds Uggers ? I haven't looked at those......I might get stuck forever in a place that would have Mr Tolkien revolving in his grave .
