Me too. I was copying out the glossary at the back of the Silmarillion, so my parents got me the Book of Lost Tales, book 1, for (birthday|christmas). I immediately started following Tolkien's steps like they were some kind of recipe. Map, check. Roots, check. I didn't know what roots were, but I figured I needed them. Oddly, this actually worked out, sorta. Amanda
