I started The First Lord Of The Ring books and Silmarillion when I was 13/14ish but I never finished them (never even got 1/4 of the way through them). Maybe I should give them another try.

:nod: You should. Actually, if I were you I'd start with The Hobbit and then read LOTR. The Hobbit is a fairly easy read and makes for a good lead up into LOTR. The Silmarillion is very interesting too but it reads different, almost like a text book. It was harder for me to stay engaged in that book even though I find the history of the elves fascinating.

If I see them in the library or in a Charity shop I'll pick them up.



I'm about to finsih my book on Cleopatra so I'm going to start a book on Anglo-Saxon England either today or tomorrow. I am excited.
