Silmarillion is tough though. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea (I know it wasn't mine). Speaking of Tolkien, I still have to get around to reading his translation of Beowulf, it's somewhere in my house. Just gotta find it...

If you can, see if they have the Bilingual Edition. It has his modern English translation side by side with the text in Old English (or is it Gaelic? I dunno.). I mean, I can't read it or understand it, but to know it's there every time I glance to the left half of the book just makes what I'm reading seem that much more special.
