I just got the book last week and finished it this weekend. I must say that I totally agree with you regarding the Morgoth/Húrin dialog. When I read Children of Húrin I thought that chapter was possibly the best one in the book. I think it would have added quite a bit to The Silmarillion. Presumably you've heard the CoH audiobook with Christopher Lee reading. I found it to be amazing.
And I am getting out my "Morgoth's Ring" and I'm going to re-read Athrabeth!

Hi CosmicBob. I'm glad you enjoyed the book, and I'm particularly glad that it moved you to re-read the Atrabeth.
Sir Christopher's reading of C0H is definitely excellent. That was an inspired - and somewhat surprising - choice.
