The last 3 nights of reading the Sil, hasn't gotten better and better. I am totally loving this book now. 2 nights ago I read about the Fall of Fingolfin, then last night it was Beren and Luthien, and tonight I read about the Nirneath and then about Turin. These 4 respected stories have got to be the best 4 stories I have read in a long long time if not ever. I could not put them down, even though I was striken with sleep and that I had to go to bed in order to be able to get up for work, lol, but I just couldn't put them down! I am sitting here in awe after what I just read, I need to go to bed and was about to, but I just had to hop on here to talk about it, lol. Poor Turin, that guy went through some horrible crap, everything he did turned out bad for him, even though there was some good as well. I am so looking forward to the next story now, The Ruin of Doriath!

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen
