Re-read of another edition 29/5/16: When was the last time I read the appendices? I'm pretty sure I didn't last time and that's a shame. My feelings on them are similar to those I have for The Silmarillion - they're easily dismissed as an unnecessary list of kings and genealogies but for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's ambition it's a treasure trove of information about the Dwarves, Rohan and others. And that's just it - I love the story, I've grown up with it and perhaps because of grown up with it (and in light of Peter Jackson's films) I think it's easy to miss the point of Tolkien. The essence of Tolkien's work is in these appendices. Imitators who look to the epic quest are like cooks who think a leathery steak can be transformed into a delicacy by drizzling it in truffle oil after they eat out at an expensive restaurant. The oil's the garnish, the dazzling finish to the creation that made it memorable but without the care, skill and attention paid to the other parts it would be best forgotten. Although I don't agree, I can understand criticisms of Tolkien's writing but I can't imagine how anyone couldn't admire his ambition. He created a whole world of myth, sagas and legend. The Lord of the Rings is the epic in that pantheon and it gets the attention that that position demands - just as The Oddysey grabs a lot of attention in the Greek mythos. When I say I grew up with Tolkien's world, I mean just that - I'm more familiar with his mythos than with stories from the Bible, or Greek legends for example. I'm a believer.
