I read the Silmarillion when I was in high school, and while it was a bit difficult to get through at times, I was in complete awe of the world Tolkien had built.  Seeing it all laid out like this is amazing.&lt;p&gt;(OT, but it looks like the page&amp;#x27;s character encoding is broken.  And of course Firefox decided to ditch the ability to set the correct charset manually.  The &amp;quot;Repair Text Encoding&amp;quot; button isn&amp;#x27;t working for me.)</text></comment>
