Yay! I should write a letter to everyone who is reading the Silm. for the first time. It should go like this.
Dear (enter your name here), So you have decided to read the Silmarillion. You silly, silly person. Not only will you struggle over words, names, and places, but you will get hooked with a book that you will seriously want to start over the minute you've finished it. You are obviously very enamored with Tolkien's work, or you wouldn't have started in the first place. If this is true, then you will love the Silm. Graphic battles, betrayal, love, hate, war, peace...everything you need, along with backgrounds to all your very favorite LOtR characters. YAY! But it'll be hard. Don't say I didn't warn you. It took me WAY WAY WAY too many times starting over to get through the book. But I did get through it, and it was one of the best books I have ever read. So keep trying....and most importantly, have fun! Good luck, Ren Okay...anyway, I had to do that. Seriously, great job, samwise. Keep reading! And when you read of Turin Turambar, soak up every single detail! It's my personal favorite chapter, but that's just silly little me! Have fun!

Ah, but I am always reading several books at a time, and for certain reasons the Sil keeps getting pushed down lower on my priority list. It's not that I don't love Tolkien, but I have other things I've been wanting to read longer, and I am now reading three books at a time. The Sil is a book I'd like to have the time to sit down and delve into without interruptions from other books (like I did with LOTR).

I couldn't read two books at the same time if I tried. A 300-700 page novel is generally worth a few hours.

I'm trying to get through, I think that I read another chapter or 2, not sher. I'm just sorda confused.
Dose anyone remember what Galadriel's sister name was? And this one had been bugging me, I must have missed a very mane and imprtant detail, WHO ARE THE NOLDOR???????? Okay, so I sound stupid, but that has been bugging me to death. Also, the Valor were ones elves, right? Well, I shouldn't say ONES, they still are, just held in a higher respect, and more wise, ect.?

The family trees in the Sil will show Orodreth as another one of her brothers, but Christopher Tolkien, JRR's son, was the one who put out the Sil, and he made some changes for various reasons, and says in later works that Tolkien's final word on the subject was that Orodreth was Angrod's son, which would make him Galadriel's nephew. And that Gil-Galad was Orodreth's son, not Fingon's, as shown in the Sil. But you really don't need to worry about that at this point if you don't want to. An interesting quote about Galadriel: Quote:

Perhaps you mean galadriel's daughter, Celebrian? She was Elrond's wife.

keep on reading Samwiselvr2008! You can finish the book! I still have to start it though. I'm probably going to keep a pencel and paper with me while I'm reading because every one says that it is really conusing.
