[half way Unfinished Tales]

UT is one of my favorite books, because it contains quite a lot of 'cultural' information, more than any other book (except probably 'Peoples of Middle Earth' and some of the last History of Middle Earth volumes, I guess - but I haven't read those).

The only problem is that we must be very cautious with this material, not being definitive at all, and often colliding with other 'official' (i.e. published in Tolkien's live) and 'un-official' (published after his death) texts. The story of Galadriel and Celeborn is a good example of this.

Still, for literary and narrative value, the UT are gold.

Without Fingolfin, the choice is easy: Ereinion Gil-galad!
