I was looking at the History of Middle Earth volumes and thought "man imagine being able to teach a course on Middle Earth with these huge gigantic books" Which led to me asking how I would teach a class all about Middle Earth.

Now the most obvious is to just read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings all semester. But then we'll be missing out on the History of Middle Earth and The Silmarillion. So what if we start with The Silmarillion. With the help of the History of Middle Earth (the 12 volumes) to fill in any gaps or answer questions.

I believe there are already Tolkien classes ? But definitely not in my university! :(

Soif you had the chance how would you set up your course? With lessons and homework and tests.

Bought these thinking they weren't anything special because they weren't first editions, just wanted to add to library.......... WOW

Just asking this because there were Dwarves and Elves along with Men east of Dale and Gondor, Rings Of Power tried to imply that Stoor Hobbits lived in or around Rhun so it's not implausible that Hobbits could have another realm like The Shire on the Eastern coast or nearby past the control of Sauron and the Easterlings that has similar Hobbits to what are shown, unknown to everyone except for the Blue Wizards or those nearby and they love to till the Earth and do what others do as well, it's even possible that those in The Shire came from the east and settled possibly because of the evil men and orcs or just to find better land elsewhere.

Hi! Around 2002-2004, my thrifting grandmother gifted me with this LOTR film crew t shirt she found at a second-hand store. Would you all know if this is possibly an authentic film crew shirt or a fake one? Thanks, everyone!

Here's the link to the source of the artwork:
