Vote for our J.R.R. Tolkien April-June Group Read. Our last reads have covered the core Legendarium books, so before we go back to those, let's cast our net a little wider than Middle-earth. You can add books authored by Tolkien (other than Middle-earth!), but they must be readily available to buy. Non-compliant votes will be deleted.

"It thus seems unquestionable, from my father's own words, that if he could achieve final and finished narratives on the scale he desired, he saw the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days as works sufficiently complete in themselves as not to demand knowledge of the great body of legend known as The Silmarillion." (The Children of Húrin Preface)

Opinion may be divided as to whether Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy does a good job of interpreting J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork, but how many of us in the group found Tolkien as a result of watching those films?
