I'm watching the extra material of the The Return Of The King Special Extended DVD Edition right now.

Yeh, the Silmarillion (thanx for the spelling correction, always screw that up!) was a really hard read. Haven't read Unfinished Tales, but good to hear that someone liked it. It always worries me when a relative puts out some stuff, just after the original stuff becomes popular.

I didn't find the difference between the two books to be that big. Both are barely readable.

"Unfinished Tales" isn't new.... I read it maybe 12 or 15 years ago! It's written by JRR, but edited and 'finished' by Christhopher.

My favorite short story by JRR Tolkien is "Leaf, by Niggle".
