Baby Book Club

I've started reading The Silmarillion to Adam. I realize that I've left this a little late - he was three weeks old when we started, which means he'll probably be laughing at my pronunciation and pointing out the bits that are inconsistent with the appendices in The Return of the King.

He seemed far more interested in the descriptions of Melkor than he was in any of the other Vala. I hope it's not a sign.

You can be anything you want to when you grow up, Adam, but I'd really rather you didn't set your sights on "Dark Power of the World." And don't be a furry, either. That's just icky.
