This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive. ~

I don't even get what that book is. It's not a novel. It's not a collection of short stories. It's like a bunch of Wikipedia articles about a world that doesn't exist.

It is the most complete oral history of a fantasy world ever conceived by man. He imagined poetic stories about every piece of the world we can see around us. This is Tolkien's Bible. This is his masterpiece. This is where he took the world of his mind's creation and used it to teach the lessons he believed were important for humanity to understand. It's a geniuses take on all things. Valuable in his opinions sure, but wonderful to behold. There are times when I'm listening to Martin Shaw's rendition of this story that I'm blown away at the mind Tolkien must have had in order to formulate these concepts so abstractly. I love it. Greatest piece of writing of all time.
