Very Impressive. I’ve seen the movies multiple times and read The Hobbit out-loud but couldn’t retain any of the names...well at least the more obscure ones in the test.
I've read a lot of the weird shit, too, which helps. The Lays of Beleriand was really helpful to me when I was getting my Master's, along with Auden's Age of Anxiety and the letters between the two regarding alliterative verse.
When they came out I gobbled up The Children of Húrin, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, and Beren and Lúthien.
A lot of the non-LOTR stuff, too: The Monsters and the Critics, his version of Sir Gawain, the Beowulf translation, etc.
I also extracted all the songs and poems from the Hobbit and LOTR and made an eBook of them to read on my Kobo.
Big damn nerd.
