It's been so many years since I've read Tolkien. I was quite dotty about it all as a teenager. Something that really stuck with me was The Fall of Fingolfin, which for all the difficulties of The Silmarillion, I considered to be one of the best passages in English literature.
How wonderful it was to discover many years later that I was not alone in this opinion, and now I see fanfiction retelling of the story all of the place.
"Other hands and other minds" as the old professor said.
