Total Tolkien fan since I read the Hobbit in 5th grade, which was many many many years ago…
I’ve seen all the movies of course!
Have you heard there’s a new TV series on Amazon prime starting in September based on Tolkien’s stories and with the estates approval. Takes place about 1000 years before the Hobbit and the LOTR. Looks very lavishly produced and also filmed in New Zealand. According to what I’ve read future seasons will be filmed in the UK though. Worth checking out!

Yeah. I saw the trailer.

Now the question is.. since all of us here are LOTR fans and assuming Tolkien fans as well... has anyone else read his books besides LOTR and The Hobbit? Example: Children of Hurin, Book of Lost Tales, etc....

I am about to read the simarillion, (however you spell that) but someone else checked it out of the library before me so now I have to wait.

I'll be honest. The journey books were a CHORE for me to read. I love them overall obviously, but I could have done without 3 pages describing every tree, rock, flower, and blade of grass in the shire. Or in Rivendell, Or anywhere else. The man could not say "hello" without it being 6 paragraphs. So I did not read anything else of his as a result.
