   March 25th is Tolkien Reading Day! I have just hit the halfway point   
   of The Silmarillion–my first time successfully reading it all the way   
   through. Often I would start, enjoy the mythic material, then as the   
   legendary stories of the races of Middle Earth begin, get lost. Other   
   times I would just cherrypick the cooler stories. But I am motoring   
   through, now. I am about one-third of the way through Tolkien’s   
   Letters–reading it as an occasional book (about a page a day). And I   
   am reading Return of the King to my son. We are in the sixth book, and   
   Sam has just determined to rescue Frodo from the midst of the orc   
   horde.   
      
   In honour of Tolkien Reading Day, I thought I would update the   
   catalogue the Tolkien posts featured here on A Pilgrim in Narnia. I   
   hope you enjoy the great selection of guest bloggers and feature   
   posts, filling out your Tolkien reading and inspiring you to widen and   
   deepen your Tolkienaphilia.
