Oh, man! I have that book and I've read it at least 3x! In case you didn't know about it, look up the song "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. It's all about the Silmarillion and the trials of the Elves.

Right now I'm reading a book my girlfriend bought me with 3 major works from Victor Hugo: "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "Les Miserables, and "The Man Who Laughs".
 
I just bought When the Soul Mends By Cindy Woodsmall. I'm into Amish books.... I've always been interested in Amish....

I just finished My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. That was really good book... but sad ending. I look forward to seeing this movie when it comes out.
