Had a pretty busy work week, hardly got time to read anything. So still on The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

The LOTR series read by Andy Serkis. Beautiful Narrator. I started with the Silmarilion and am now almost finished with The Hobbit.

    I have started and stopped Silmarilion multiple times. How did you find the experience of listening to it?

    Serkis is a gem, I could listen to him read anything. The story was OK, seemed like a high level history of the realm from creation to after the LOTR books. I wish there was more on the origin of Sauron, it seems like he just kinda shows up one day.

    I just finished the hobbit and recognized a few connections but I’ll probably have to read the Silmarilion again once I finish LOTR to piece more of it together.
