    THE SILMARILLION. Every now and again I get the itch for a re-read.


    I listened to the Andy Serkis audiobook again recently. I recognise that itch!


    I'm SOOOOO tempted to get audible for another three month stint to listen to it with his narration. He's such a great narrator.

    EDIT: And I did it. I can listen on my way to and from work.


    It's wonderful. His LOTR and Hobbit are brilliant, but there's something about the mythological nature of Sil that really lends itself to the fireside mythmonger vibe he goes for with the reading. Just be prepared to turn the volume down when you get to anything involving Glaurung - for some reason, Serkis seems to feel the dragon has one volume and it's shouting :p

    NEEEEEER- I mean hey thanks for the breakdown I've got prime I might check out Picard (though is that a bad place to start?)


    Guilty! Posted Image

    I think it definitely lands better after TNG - it's heavily tied in with a lot of visiting recurring characters. It's a mixed bag to begin with - but the final series in particular is absolutely a love letter to TNG and wouldn't work at all without it.

    What Hoosier said. Loved your reading sessions on Youtube. Do you still do them (I ask because I'm hoping for more)

    Your videos on YouTube are awesome. It's always different hearing the voices in another person's tone and accent. Really enjoyed them, thanks so much!
