I just finished the Tale of Tinuviel (but not the commentary). I stopped reading for a while because I was busy. I have too much to read....the rest of HoMe and I want to read the Silmarillion again.

I am reading, rereading I guess, Antrax by Terry Brooks. It's part of the 3 book series, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. The third book, Morgawr just recently came out and I am rereading the first two becuase I forgot what happens... I really enjoy all of the Shannara books.

I'm currently reading the Problem of Pain, by C.S. Lewis. Slowly. There's a lot to think about.
