How many of those have you read?

I own...
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Hobbit
Unfinished Tales
The Book of Lost Tales part 1
The Book of Lost Tales part 2
The Lays of Beleriand
The Shaping of Middle-Earth
The Children of Hurin
The Silmarillion

As for those I've read...
I've read the main trilogy about 10 times (I read it once a year) and the Hobbit many times. I've read parts of Unfinished Tales and the Silmarillion. I haven't started any of the History of Middle Earth books, though I certainly will sometime soon. The Children of Hurin is a recent acquisition (I got it for my birthday, which was about a month ago) and I'll read that soon too. There's so much to read... Smiley

I realise this topic may not strictly belong in this forum, but I see not more suitable place for it.

I remember, that I had big delay in reading LotR, because I stopped after Pelennor fields. Then I just forced myself (I was maybe 12/13 years old) and I decide to continue, and after last words of Sam 'Ano, wróciłem' (from polish version) I knew - that was the best book I've read.

Also Silmarillion, from the greatest works, and parts from Unfinished tails.

Now I realy have to concentrate on Children of Hurin and other stuff about Turambar, 'cos I will have matura exam (in Poland) in topic 'role of artifacts in character's creation' :]

Sounds good.

I've just started reading the Book of Lost tales 1. It's kinda hard to get into, as I don't really know the context. I'm plugging on with it though now, as I guess as I progress it'll make sense. Especially if I go through the History of Middle Earth books, then read them again, as I tend to do with books I own.

I'm about 100 pages into Book of Lost Tales 1 now. It's hard to get into at first, but it gets really interesting. The coming of the Valar, the creation of races, the being who created the Gods. Amazing!

Also, there's been a mention of the 'Secret Fire', which is cool. If it only rings a bell, then remember that on Kazad-Dum, Gandalf says he's a 'Servant of the Secret Fire' Smiley

Yep, Secret Fire was mentioned in Ainulindale; also - Udun means Utumno (Balrog - 'flame of Udun')
