Tolkien books becoming easier to find:)

J.R.R. Tolkien Forum

J.R.R. Tolkien books are becoming easier to find. I went to Barnes and Noble today. They had The Book of Lost Tales, The Treason of Isengard, The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, Unfinished Tales as well as many others. The were mostly paperback, but they are out there.

yeah...they've been out there for a while...since the movies came out they've had a ton of Tokein stuff at B&N.

I just bought Shadow of the Past. I hope to start reading it soon, since my Silmarillion has vanished.

I plan on eventually reading everything Tolkien has out there.

You'll be there a long time if you plan on reading everything.

The Tolkien books are becoming easier to find because people think that now the movies have come out more people would be interested in reading the books.

I went and bought a few new Tolkien books the other day, Tales from the perilous realm and unfinished tales, as well as picking up Bored of the Rings and the Soddit (which are spoof versions of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings). I haven't gotten round to reading them yet, but I have read Bored of the Rings, it's quite funny actually, with Goodgolf, Frito and Spam.

I never heard of those spoofs WT, they sound funny though.

I've read Hobbit, LOTR, and Silmarillion. What should I start on next?

It is really your desicion.

I am currently working my way through "Tale from the perilous realm" and "the unfinished tales" but they are a bit hard to get into.

If you are looking for a spoof I would highly recomend "Bored of the Rings" it is a very funny book, but I haven't read the "Soddit" yet so I cannot coment on it.

Its not fair! Nowhere i can find sells The Book of Lost tales or Unfinished tales! Grrrrrrrr! i need to get them off mail order!

Another thing to consider is this: with the widespread expansion of technological influences, tons of Tolkien literature is available online and electronically, also...

I've read Hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion, the Book of Unfinished Tales, and a Bibliography on Tolkien. I haven't read the Book of the Lost Tales and it's bugging me.
