Wow, much respect. Rereading the Silmarillion? That's no easy task. I've had a store clerk comment about my heavy reading when I bought The Divine Comedy, but even I have yet to be able to get through the Silmarillion.

edit - Laurelin makes me think of Lorelei from the old German poem. Definitely a name I will be giving a daughter.
