A Tolkien books question?
Where can I find a list of the order in which to read the Tolkien books. I’ve read the hobbit and I have the Silmarillion Audiobook and I picked up the new one today. Silmarillion is the very start of the middle earth books so where does the story go from there?
Are the 12 part “history of..” books just fillers or are they actually in order of events (I still have to get those).
Any links or help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a look at this link. Sounds like good advice.

The Hobbit $12.98 The J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy classic set in Middle-earth was adapted into this excellent 1978 animated feature first broadcast on television. Codirectors Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr., working from a script by Romeo Muller, are faithful to Tolkien’s story and for that alone they get big points. The vocal cast can’t be improved upon: Orson Bean is perfect as Bilbo Baggins, the timorous hobbit who … |

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring $5.55 Score composer Howard Shore has informed this first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with his distinctly modern sensibilities. Revolving loosely around a brief, heroic brass theme, this epic is infused with a powerful rhythmic thrust and a musical range that encompasses centuries (from the Renaissance pastoralism of “Concerning Hobbits” to the fiery, Prokofiev-influenced drama of “A Kn… |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King $5.24 This final chapter of Peter Jackson’s sprawling adaptation of Tolkien’s “Ring” trilogy closes out one of the most accomplished cycles in cinema–and film music–history. As he’s done for the saga’s first two installments, composer Howard Shore has honed a mature, brooding orchestral masterpiece that’s long on subtle shadings of mood and nuance, while eschewing the hollow bombast that’s characteriz… |

The Lord of the Rings $21.99 A Christian can almost be forgiven for not reading the Bible, but there’s no salvation for a fantasy fan who hasn’t read the gospel of the genre, J.R.R.

J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) $17.41 Hobbits and wizards and Sauron–oh, my! Mild-mannered Oxford scholar John Ronald Reuel Tolkien had little inkling when he published The Hobbit; Or, There and Back Again in 1937 that, once hobbits were unleashed upon the world, there would be no turning back. Hobbits are, of course, small, furry creatures who love nothing better than a leisurely life quite free from adventure. But in that firs… |
