Thanks so much for making these. I've been meaning to re-read the Silmarillion, but my job strains my eyes so much that my downtime is usually the only time I can rest them. Now i can enjoy the books without worsening my eyesight. You have an amazing reading voice.

Thank you for this reading. I have read the books many times, but I never grow weary of Tolkien's legendary world.
