Well, my half-successful attempts to dig myself through the Sil were around the age of 30 or so, and I always found the whole lTúrin stuff too much melodrama for my taste. And too close to the Rheingold saga. Some parts of it almost sound like bad fanfic.

So sorry, but the Sil sometimes brings the worst out of me. I like to connect with my heroes, and the bombastic style just won't let me. It makes me feel like the adventurous lad in Hungarian folk tales who has to eat himself through a mountain of porridge, just to get on his way.
