Just a quick question.

Is there an audio book(cd or tape)of the Silmarillion that exists? And if so where can I buy it? any info ...hence my name you should now why I am asking this question :)

I believe I've seen it offered on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/), BooksAMillion (http://www.bamm.com/), Barnes and Noble (http://www.bn.com/), and Borders (http://www.borders.com). You can probably also get it at Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com/) (I don't know the direct URL for their book store) and at Xenite.Org Books (http://xenite.vstorestuff.com/).

That last one, btw, is my own online bookstore (and now everyone rushes over to Vstore to open their own online store). *sigh*

Thanks, I've heard that listening to the audio of the Silmarillion is better avenue to take then reading it. Too many names you have to have to figure out. Is there a list of where I can get the pronunciations?

I didn't know you had a bookstore Michael!

Newbie, most editions of the Silmarillion (i.e. all of them that I know of) have a note on pronunciation in the back, but it's not as complete as the superb guide you will find in the Appendices to the Lord of the Rings.
