[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ven made a comment about The Hobbit book being childish, so I added my two cents on it. I did hear once on a biography of Tolkein that the series was something to be read as people age, starting with The Hobbit as children and then LOTR later on. Not sure where The Silmarillion would fall, seeing as it wasn't finished by him. I suppose it could be considered a seperate but related piece since it takes place in a different age of Middle Earth than the others do.
