Children of Hurin. The ending makes me very sad. Sort of a higher order sadness too. The art work of that dude is also very good.

Anyway I have fall of Gondolin left but I’m waiting for a particular weather before I read it.

Read it in the summer near a large body of water; I'm not going to spoil why but it made the experience much more memorable for me

I hated that part of the movies. Americans don't understand Old World fairies and elves
They just portrayed Legolas as a Superhero. At least they managed to portray that fey aura around Galadriel and Arwen

Why couldn't they just portray him as an airy young man who sings soft ethereal songs to himself and sleeps with his eyes open? What do Amerimutts have against nature boys

a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good
thing; the more’s the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper person, afford
stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be backward, but let him cheerfully
allow himself to spend and be spent in that way. And the man that has anything
bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than you
perhaps think for.

i always assumed bombadil was a good team version of the big ass spiders and evil things that somehow spawned from the original creation of iluvitars song. like in the deep reaches of the earth some evil shit somehow accidentally got made, so surely some good fellas also accidentally got made. also thought he and his wife were tolkiens self inserts until i read beren and luthien

That's a good theory; he seems like an unintentional creation. Either that or a powerful angel like Sauron who went a different way with dominating Middle-Eart
