*The Lays of Beleriand are excellent, especially the ''Lay of Lethian'' (the one about Beren and Luthien). Tolkien was exceptionally talented to write work like that. As for the prose stories, I like the version of Beren and Luthien in ''The Book of Lost Tales II'' called ''The Tale of Tinuviel'', For Turin Turambar, I like the ''Narn i Hin Hurin'' (the Tale of the Children of Hurin) in ''Unfinished Tales''. ~ [[User:SharonS|SharonS]] 09:26, 13 February 2007 (EST)

*I haven't read The tale of Tinuviel yet but I did read the ''Fall of Gondolin''. That was a great battle and I have read ''Narn I Hin Hurin'' and next to ''The Lay of Lethian'' its my favorite of Tolkens works. What really shocks me is how many people read the ''Hobbit'' annd ''The Lord of the Rings'' and think thats it. There is so much more in Tolkens Middle Earth that many people dont know along with deeds like in ''Beren and Luthien'' that make the war of the ring look like a little skirmish.--[[User:James G.|James G.]] 10:49, 14 February 2007 (EST)
