No Silmarillion or Children of Hurin?
hehe, nope, not this time. I've read Silmarillion twice, and while it is fun, it's not as fun as some of the others. Children I've only read once, right after purchasing it.

including the latest one, Wrath of a Mad God (good, but not what I had hoped, and there was a couple of annoying inconsistencies with earlier books)
I felt the same way. Minwanabi Vassals to the Acoma? What the.....
Terribly disappointing reading such obvious flaws in the authors memory. (I'm guessing he meant Anasati as the vassals, not resurrecting a dead house.)
Right now I'm reading "Necronomicon, the best weird tales of H.P. Lovecraft." This is simply awesome. I'd read some of his work previously, a long time ago, but in Dutch. And again I'm proving myself right when I feel books are best read in the author's native tongue. A dutch version of HP Lovecraft doesn't begin to do justice to the creepiness and mystery of reading it in English. I'm at "The Dunwich Horror" right now and it's proven one of the best.
So anyone who enjoys horror, and hasn't read HP Lovecraft previously, I can definitely recommend his work.
