I also support such a group, or at least continuing the discussion.  I have
been an avid Tolkien fan for as long as I can remember; well, ok, only since
5th grade.  But you have to admit that "the Hobbit" is pretty tough going for
a 5th grader to read on her own (I even use to think that there really WAS
a Middle-Earth for the longest time!!!).  I have the whole set of LOTR 
(including "the Hobbit"), "The Tolkien Reader", and "the Silmarillion", but
if there was anything else put out by a Tolkien, I seemed to have missed it.
Could someone send me the titles of anything else that has been published
concerning Tolkien's world, be it by Tolkien or someone else?

ps.  i still find myself re-reading all four books about once every 12-14
     months, and i can still manage to find something i missed on the
     previous reading, even after 12 years!  my paperbacks are so shot i am
     going to have to go out and buy a new set pretty soon.
