Maybe when we (you all) get to that part of the Silm group reading you can build proper family trees.

Hey, congrats, gandalffan2525!
Keep going, everyone else it's worth it! (BTW, gandalffan2525, I liked UT a lot better than BoLTs 1 and 2)

Yup, although it starts out slow, it gets awesome as it goes along. I am actually just about to read the story of Beren and Luthien (even though I know it already, however I never read it in full). This book definitely gets better, the story of Fingolfin was my favorite so far, he rocked!

I am a whole 50 pages into the Silmarillion, and while, overall, it has not gotten any more interesting, it most definitely has some worthwhile passages. While you probably read this part already, my favorite section is when Tolkien describes the Two Trees of Valinor. It's gorgeous!

The Silmarillion: bilble of Tolkien's world
I'm shocked when I read how bored some of you are in reading the Sil. I found that I could not put it down. If you are having difficulties keeping people straight, keep paper and pen handy and make lineage charts of Elves and Men. If you are having difficulties with keeping places straight, keep the map handy.
