I see your "The Hobbit" and raise you a "The Silmarillion". Google it. Did anybody get past the second chapter of that book?
read it, twice,
i call your silmarillion and raise you a First edition "Unfinished Tales"
The books were epic, just outstanding reading, the new films are okay , better than the previous attempts but miss out half the story, including Tom Bombadil!
I went arount my friends house and he was playing Battle for Middle Earth and he asked me "omg this guy is awesome, whos tom bombadil!"
Is that released as a single book? As I did read all that, but it's just an 'addendum' in the back of my Silmarillion edition. I do know what you're talking about, the whole Númenor thing is something regarding the island they used to live on that went atlantis mode.
The green-light is go for the Hobbit. Peter Jackson is going to have it. Estimates are for 2012.
And the poems in the Lays of Beleriand, particularly The Lay of Leithian(Luthien and Beren) is really good, if you can get past the fact that every other word rhymes and get into the story, more detailed than is described in the Silmarillion.

I also do hope they release the Special Extended Editions on Blu-Ray.... 4 1/2 hours each movie in Hi-def! :D
